Aston Martin Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 So he didn’t manage to sell the roof at £99, yet suddenly it’s worth £150?! Nice one...... In his defence it was £99 just for the unsold glass, when I said I needed all of the roof plus headlining and everything that goes with it. Blinds and the switch etc, he decided it was £150 DIY. mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbenn Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Perhaps £150 all removed and ready to collect wouldn’t be too bad. Aston Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it looks doable I'll grab it. Either way I'd have to remove them both. mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Skydome can fuck itself. Spent 10 seconds removing the headliner (properly) spent the rest of my life figuring out how to remove the bastard roof. I failed, the only torx bolts remove accessories. Such as the blind rails etc. I manually opened the roof expecting hidden bolts... And nothing. Theres definitely glue holding it down. But it can't be 100% glued and nothing else? P.s. I managed to get the passenger door mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It's probably bonded in with similar stuff to windscreens, PU adhesive of some kind. Aston Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Removable then, but with a cheesewire thing or the bendy blades windscreen fondlers use.If upullit allowed, I'd just chop the bastard roof off. Sadly they don't allow, I see myself buying a shagged panda next year and taking both to a bodyshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 I'm aware that these look like they were painted using a toothbrush and hammerite and generally shite, but it's just a plastidip mockup to see if I want them body coloured or left standard. mrbenn, Jim Bell and oldcars 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Upullit had a stupid fat Panda 2012+I assumed that the wiper arms would fit my Panpan. The spindles are alot narrower on the new Pan. So I left with these instead, which can be modified... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 I'm not a doctor of plastics... The Internet said use nail varnish remover or wet sand the old blue paint off the badges. The nail varnish remover worked perfectly on the back, but the front has gone all white and manky. Even though it's the opposite side of the same plastic. Oh well, £2.50 down.

shedenvy Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 That will probably polish up with autosol or even just give it a coat of laquer to gloss up the front again. Craig the Princess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Got some better pics of the green one, all little men on the wheels present and intact!IMG_20181025_095125.jpgIMG_20181025_095137.jpgIMG_20181025_095114.jpg If you could seriously stick a note saying “if ever interested in selling please call x” Happy to do that. What number should I write down in place of the kiss? I guess it's time for an update.Because Craig is a hero among men, he tracked down the owners address. So, just before Christmas I wrote a letter saying to the owner of the green one that I must have it at some point. The guy emailed back and was thrilled that I'd managed to send him a letter stating how much I coveted his green Alessi. "Like you I have just spent several hundred pounds on her. Front shocks. Track rods. Cam belt. Rear brake slave cylinders and service" Somehow it's on 140,000 miles, he loves it and isn't going to sell it anytime soon. He suggested I drive my Pandarin to Jersey for the first annual Alessi meet. Hopefully one day I can manage to persuade him to part with it. But considering the milage I don't think he's going to let it go easily. mk2_craig, Jim Bell, Lacquer Peel and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kringle Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Great to hear you got in touch with him. You probably won't get your hands on it until it has officially died but at least you'll get first dibs on those 4 little men, 3d scan and reprint them and become some kind of Holy Panda Jesus, St. Pandarin if you like.
