Brakes done (again) but someone has drained a quarter of a tank of Diesel so I ran out moving the van from one driveway to the other. :bang:
regretting buying mine after one day and reading this. Glad i have his address lolFiorino R.I.P
So the suspension collapsed again. Grrrrr! :bang:
Front valances are not available anywhere in the world, suspension mounting brackets aren't available anywhere in the world and fabricating from scratch would require the front of the van being placed in the jig that I don't have the raw materials to make.
Add that to the water pump leak, the oil leak, the cold start issues, the continuing fun with brakes and the general rust issues and it's time for the weighbridge.
Both vehicles I have bought to be Winter runners so I can work on my Panda have required more time, money and effort than my Panda ever has.
There isn't enough clean metal to weld it again. Any repair would be a temporary one just how temporary or what speed the van will be going when it fails again are a risk I'm not willing to take so scrapping the van is best for everyone else on the road.
