For some reason, I just pictured your V8 Panda as a half-track......IT LOOKED AWESOME! :lol:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Well there we go..... :P


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 :twisted:
