wesacosa Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I think I have PMd everyone who expressed an interest in taking this car on when I previously discussed it earlier in the year, but if I haven't please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I know I did, but I absolutely definitely haven't got the time or funds available for it just now (currently have negative 2 available spaces). Hope it stays in the fold...and ideally near enough to us that I can blarg a shot in it one day! wesacosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Chocolate Teapot Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Received email thanks , unfortunately since first interest i am overloaded at the moment, 3 cars in a 2 car space house hold is already a problem, 4 cars would cause severe neighbour relationship stress. But please put more pics up, temptation can always lead to advanced man maths solutions. wesacosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grogee Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Same boring story here. No money and no space. Puma laid up at sister Grogee's, Maestro is about to undergo surgery and once that's done I'll pull the gearbag out of my Beamer. We have a (tight) two car drive and Mrs Grogee is not tolerant of 'surprise' car purchases. One random for £16.95? wesacosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesacosa Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Given the circumstances of me acquiring the car I'd be reluctant to do a roffle. I'd really like it to go to someone who really wants it and will look after it There is still interest from my previous posting so hopefully something will come of that rob88h, CGSB and Rust Collector 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesacosa Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Panda is still here. I haven't tried to do anything with it since the gearshift bush fell off on the way to the last MOT in August. I should have really but as per some of my other posts I got into a bit of a ULEZ sulk/depression and downed tools on all of my cars. So its still looking for its next caring owner. Preferably someone who really wants a Panda, and has a much better place to keep it than the streets of London (as Ralph McTell would attest to ! ) and would love it and use it more than I can and isn't just out to tick a Panda off the list or to flip it. As before I don't really want to roffle, and I would like to find the right person given the history of the car. Its currently not MOTd and has its issues which need sorting. Its also not a minter but looks nice from 10 paces and is honest Price would be dependant on how and when you could take it (i.e with MOT & gear linkage fixed or as is ) but I'm not looking to make silly money on it so would be a fair price to a trusted shiter either way Drop me a line if you have any more questions I would dearly love to keep it as its a cool little car and they are such an icon, but I am no longer the right person for this and I'd hate for @spartacus's pride and joy to end up sitting idle and exposed to the elements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rust Collector Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I'd be up for spending some tinkering time on it if it would help you out mate. It looks a really lovely little thing - if I could give it a home, I would. Pandas to Pandino is on the bucket list.

I think @Ian_Fearnhas done it a few times Thanks for the kind offer although to he honest it just needs me to get off my lazy arse and find out which bit dropped off the gear linkage then hopefully replace from my box of spares or order new one depending which bit it is.. The other items are more longer term stuff for the next owner (tidying the bodywork, under sealing/rust proofing and addressing the noisy gearbox bearing if it gets any worse) mk2_craig and Rust Collector 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesacosa Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Had a look at the gear linkage this morning. As suspected the pin (4 in the diagram) had parted company with the car. The bush and i think all bar one washer were remarkably still there I popped a washer and spare pin on and we now have gears back, although I need to get the car up in the air to make sure pin is seated properly but the Estelle is hogging the ramps and axle stands are elsewhere . Still some good news that it wasn't more serious and the parts needed were in my spare stash Probably should have done this month's ago but hey ho Note, it was all done by feel as can't get line of sight with car on ground so comments on missing bits subject to change;) Tickman, Rust Collector, Burnside and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesacosa Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I assumed the battery would be fecked since leaving it connected since August but when I turned the key it did a small attempt to turn over. So connected the jump pack to see if it would start (ignore the vibration the door was not closed properly and rattled on the catch Bonnet has now decided not to latch, no signs of anything obvious think maybe just needs grease to allow the catch to return to correct posting but its stated pissing down so on hold Burnside, Tickman, loserone and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
