The V8 Panda...

[Henry]

I think bigger wheels would make it look awesome. Like a small monster truck. Panda-Foot.....Pandigger.....Max-Panda

Sadly i dont have monster truck wheels in my shed

Like i said its going to be made out of essentially scrap

Well if i had one of these lying about...



I might have considered it


Got myself a pedal box from a 300TDI today, all major parts now sorted


Hmmmm pedals

A Quick hour today.

Made the inserts for the chassis.

In True Welsh farmer pikey style.... they used to be part of this...







Wednesday night should see it move along a bit

[Henry]

Well there we go.....


A hour of cleaning, lining up, measuring, then measuring again got me where i wanted it....

Then a good 3 hours on the welder later and we have this...




Only managed to plate the top and outside of each chassis rail. I will turn it over or something to plate the underneath and do the other side this week (fingers crossed).

I also ordered a slave cylinder for the gear box, along with new cap arm and leads for the engine. Oh and a water pump for the sj for good measure

Love the barn/panda/land rover combo
