Modifying a panda info please.

[sridgett]

Hi all.

I would like to make my 1999 fiat panda more retro. I've been useing it to get to and from work for a while now and i think she could do with tidying up a bit.
I would like to lower it and put wider steel wheels on but don't have a big budjet so is there any parts from other cars that will do the job?

Has and body got any pic's of modifyed panda to give me a few ideas? Has anybody on here built a panda befor? What else i can do to make it more retro?

Here's a few pic's of the car.






Cheers guy's

Wished we had standard Panda's that tidy in the UK as most have or are suffering from rust to some level or another.
This will show you want wheels have the same PCD / offset as your car -

Wow...you still got the original panda in 1999? I thought they stopped years before that!

There is a whole thread of cool pandas here:

Lancia Y10 used the same running gear, if you can find a 1050 turbo for breaking, you're laughing because they have all the uprated suspension bits you'll need. Failing that. Demon Tweeks used to list springs and shock absorbers for the Y10, as well as Tarox discs and pads.
Any of the FIRE engines from the larger Fiat's fit, but whach the flywheel clearance on the 1242's if you keep the Panda gearbox. Presumably yours is SPI already, which means that the SPI 1242 is an easier fit.
Good luck
