General You know that buring question, Panda, Ferrari, Lancia engines, how big

[Stuartl]

Well I now have the answer to the question you all haven't been asking yourselves.. :slayer: And no I'm not on the strong water yet.

The one at the front is the Panda engine by the way

Brilliant Dave. That was the first thing that came into my head to.

So when you making a Ferrari Panda??!! :devil:

Only a little bigger, and think of the prestige!!

No plans for a Ferrari Panda but Jim and I hatched an idea today for a future Panda concept that could be tasty.

Damn! That's my V12 Panda project out the window then.

 

[Hellcat]

I recognise that lump on the right. Not much smaller than the V8.

Wedge that twin cam into a Sisley and make a Pandagrale

PM me too!

Sorry guys best your going to get from me (and Jim unless he sozzled) until its done is

This colour.

And it might feature these.

And I need a twin sunroof roof :idea:

Jim has some good ideas. Next winters panda project though and I really have to knuckle down and get the Evo2, 308 and G Wagen on the road.

 

[pandamonius_maximus]

Oh man that didn't help!

Well looks like I've got to wait

Those pouches are a good idea; another simplicity marvel from the panda! Were they a mk1 only thing or custom?

Si

 

[Stuartl]

I think it was a one off idea and its given me some other ideas. If the project gets off the ground its going to cost a bit, more so the bespoke inside. And probably looking at a years work.

I can tell you I'll be starting with the 1999 French Panda as the base.

Nope those are the right colour for Panda's, but don't think they are Panda's Dave! Was hoping you'd found a Father Ted clip with a Panda in it!!!

Stu,
it might be helpfull for you...

Damm, well spotted. That's the direction we're going. I'm currently figuring out how quickly I can learn to upholster as i think its going to to expensive to get someoe to do what I've planned.

We're thinking along spookily similar lines Stuart. I bought a 1000cl a couple of years ago to use as a basis for a posh Panda, it's affectionately known as Farmyard because it was used to hack around a farm, I saved it for £20 . It's still a little way down the list but I'm just as keen to do it, think it would make a lovely little runaround, so am very inerested to see what you come up with
