Bangernomics question: Mentioned I bought an MOT failed panda, with rusted rear suspension beam. This is common corrosion point, this one has been welded in the past so needs replacement. Was thinking of replacing the suspension set up from a KA as it is wider and stiffer beam then replacing all the springs to the KA springs. Lockdown has stopped that plan.
Now been offered a cheap panda same age and with MOT. So was thinking of checking the rear beams condition then swap the beam over to mine, sell panda one and then sell panda two once the bits are available from scrap yards.
Then noted a cheap 1.6 A2 has come up but with no MOT and though why fuck about as I fancy the A2 and use it as a van for going to France, which was the idea for the panda or to leave the Panda/A2 in France and get rid of the smart car as it is a bit useless as anything more than a go to shops by yourself.
