General What have you done for her/him recently?
Thanks guys
Thou Sylvia is back to being very very plane again...
I've something planned for her but at the min with money being so tight (I'm having to sell the Citroen xm to pay to get the Barchetta thou the MOT and her ladyship needs two new struts and a set of points) she's going to be in her Arctic Camo for the foreseeable future...

Sold her. My 1988 Sisley is no longer mine 
Just twenty £20's instead
She'll be remembered though, lots of fond and fun memories
The buyer has had a few Panda's before and so was pleased with what he got I think. She's going to be a little project of his and he's planning on making her into an ambhibious Panda So she won't be waisted hopefully

Now have hubcaps, new grille, and new front bumper. As you can see in the first picture the bumper before was pretty bad - it had been painted black The FIAT logo was missing 2 of it's lines and the wheels looked bare / lost without the hubs
A very long and hard day working but well worth it in the end
BTW Ran out of numberplate stickies hence why it's resting inside for the time being. Beau has had new numberplates made up too

Now primered and painted waiting a few days now to do the rubbing compound...Have also matched the sills in with the correct white.

I have done alot to my Marbella since i baught it.
-4 sparkies
-changed oil and filter
-air filter
-points
-rotor arm
-distributor cap
-tempeture sensor
-Gun Gum to cover a hole in the exhaust
-n/s and o/s wind mirrors
-some very loud air horns on relay (origional horn in place just as a little toot, harder push and the air horns kick in)
-some other little bits too
I also plan to polish up the car, it has many small dents but no big bangs. I some of these dents have rust in which i will clear and then touch up. Also, the tailgate of the car for some reason has a mat-black spray paint on parts also on rear wings. I will rub this down a little and spray over with the correct colour. And i will take alot more care than its previous owners who got lots of paint spots on the number plate and windows. what a cretin lol
oh well

All sounds good.
Can't beat a good ole bit of gun gum
Today I've spent most of the afternoon dismanteling dad's late Selecta. About 85% of interior now stripped and removed, and about 1/3 of the total strippage of the car planned is now done

They are gonna look ace on Manda!!!...
lovely, look a bargain
Thanks,
They need a bit of a clean up first though as the guy decided to spray his fence with some fence paint and there are a few brown dots on them. Was thinking of giving them a little rub down and then spraying them a sort of steel grey colour (same as the colour of the cinq alloys we have on manda already)
Was not gonna argue when he said we could have them for £40 though.

Have had new speedo cable fitted and he now has I.C.E.
Glad to hear you have some choonz to keep you entertained..
But, I notice Beau's temperature needle is a little the wrong side of 12 o'clock.. hope he's not overheating? That was the start of my head gasket woes..
Cheers,
Plug
Given mine a service tonight, dont think the oil and filter had been changed for a long time, the filter was pretty rusty! Also I dont think the plugs have ever been changed since new as they looked pretty old. Anyone know what make of plugs Fiat fitted? The ones that were in were Bosch.
Also got the inner driveshaft boot that was split sorted on Monday so it is finally driveable, not that I can drive it properly til August

NGK BPR6ES if referring to the CLX, BP6ES if 750. Cheap and good, no need to spend more.
