Progress
The panda is coming together nicely now.
First I have dismantled the interior, disposed of the rear seats, added a second battery and a split charge system (pics to follow). I have also started to wire everything up - what a mess! I have placed new switches on the dash to control all the lights, radiator cooling fan, etc. Everything bar the engine and standard lights will run off the second battery (mounted behind the drivers seat). This means we can use the stereo, our fluorecent interior lights, cig lighter, spot lights and possibly an invertor without draining the main battery. A lot of the logo stickers have now arrived and some have been applied (thanks to Darren @ Custom-Graphics). The roofrack is finally in place after a lot of cutting, drilling and general bodging it seems solid enough - I hope the 12 holes drilled staright throught the roof don't leak! Still to do - finish wiring, get some new tyres, finish applying logos and give car a service and only 30 odd days to go!
