UltraWomble Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Incredibly well done, these are lovely little cars and one day I hope to buy one as an OLLI alternative. dave21478 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Brilliant. What an ace looking thing. Don't forget there's no centre diff on these, so tight turns with four-wheel drive engaged are best avoided. Apols if you already knew. dave21478 and RichardK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Fiats Sake Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Great stuff! That paint's come up a treat! I love the mk1, very lucky to have one but a 4x4 mk1 is definitely on the bucket list. dave21478 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 great work there, a pleasure to see things happening at such a pace. the last time I saw one of these little panda 4x4s, it was earning it's keep delivering supplies of pop and ice cream to the souvenir shack at the top of mount Vesuvius - it was hard enough work walking up, maximum restecp to the might panda making it all the way up to the rim of the crater Dave_Q, mat_the_cat, dave21478 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel bickle Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ace. Brilliant job. Well done in seeing it right through I nearly mullered an old Honda 900 climbing up that ash slope on Vesuvius back in the day. Severely clacking big ends by the time it got to the top, sufficient to make me sell it, when finally it returned to the uk, several months later. dave21478 and gm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 This is great Dave24/7. I've enjoyed reading this thread from start to finish.

dave21478 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Am I being dim? whats this thing and where does it go? it was in the bottom of the bucket of bolts n stuff. The pointy circle corresponds with the foot of the standard jack, but I dont see the purpose of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Those Panda jacks are great for spreading palisade fence pales apart. So I've heard. Not sure what the mystery part is, perhaps there was more to it at one time to spread the load of the jack? dave21478 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 I wondered if it was to add an extra couple of inches height to the jack to account for the 4x4s suspension? Christine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
