As many of you know, I purchased the Panda from Dave (Drunkie) in March. I wasn't planning on making a thread, mainly because I don't plan on doing much to the car besides fixing a few things and doing a bit of upgrading on what has already been done. However, quite a few people want me to start a thread, and now I agree, it's a special car that deserves to keep being documented. Needless to say, this car is already incredible, he had a great vision when he put it all together.
Like I said, I don't plan on doing much, as Dave already has done pretty much everything. I am just making it a bit lighter and making it more garage queen, even though it's a driver . Here are the future plans-
•2-piece GT500 rotors to replace the heavy ones that are currently on it.
•Re-vinylwrap roof.
•GXP front seats.
•Tint windshield
•Would love to find an identical set of wheels that weigh less than these do, as they're super heavy.
•TEP built trans, 1" chain, all teh goodies.
•New vent visors, these ones have cracks around the edges and whatnot
Done-
•20% all around tint.
•Repainted lip and spoiler.
•Deck lid without a keyhole and no dents
•Aluminum coolant elbows and new belts 8/1/14
•Morimoto ballasts
•ZZP billet fuel rails, poly square and round dogbone bushings
•Bully-Flo stage ? heads, stock polisher valves, decked
•80lb injectors and a 340lph fuel pump
•Ceramic coated headers
•Mezerie electric water pump
•MLS head gaskets and ARP studs, as well as ARP stainless header studs
•Shaved core support and strut towers
•new core support, frame sectioned to remove all rust
•Shortened coilover struts
•Custom exhaust setup
•Roof rails... done the right way for an 04+
•GXP rear brakes
•Mickey Thompson Streets

ZOMG, it's a white car!
Backing it down, yeah, it scraped a little
