Hello my name is kirsty,
I am looking for a old fiat panda as a donor car so that i can fix my panda as she is getting a bit old, Can any one help me ?
Well i kinda need the drivers side door and passanger side door as they are on there way out.
I would also like a manual gear box as mine is auto at the mo and its not ver good,
Plus I do need some tyres.
But apart from that she is in good nick
Thanks for replying
Hi kirsty, there seems to be a whole load of people looking for gearboxes for panda selecta's at the moment, must be something in the air !! If you do want to swap it over to a manual gearbox, it is quite a lot of work, you need loads more stuff than just the box, you also need driveshafts, different ECU, pedal box and I think its mounted differently, so if I was you, it will probably work out easier getting the box reconditioned.
Panda's for spares seem few and far between now, it seems even rough ones go for loads. As for doors, I think every panda owner is after the illusive rust free ones - were not sure if they even exist !!
Might be worth chatting to the panda lot on fiatforum.com, they have knowledge and usually know of parts going, theres also a part on the forum where you can put 'parts wanted' messages
Good Luck
send to: jenni our leader,

can we have a top ten of the most desirable parts
to have in your personel stock?
Recondition a Selecta gearbox? I think you will find this is uneconomic - far cheaper to buy a complete Panda Selecta with a good box. They do appear occasionally on Ebay. Or maybe the Punto Selecta(of which there seem to be many on Ebay) gearbox might fit the Panda?
whereabouts are you Kirsty, as i know of a scrapyard with an excellent panda (getting crushed soon, so save what you can). Would have it myself but its over 350 miles away :( email me for quickness :)
