Hope all are well
Probably a bad idea, saved it from being mostly rust and scrapped with a fair chunk of welding and parts.
That's the last engine variant ticked off the list for me

I could replicate that photo - I have the same colour Coupe (albeit 20vt) and Panda. Brilliant little car the Panda, they have followed a similar pattern to the coupe in that they could be picked up for about 250 euros ten years ago, good ones are now 2k+ over here.

All gears on a 16vNA are magic. None of this tedious hanging around waiting for the turbo to wake up and start burning oil.

It's important to remember, though, Sam, that you may need to check the oil as much as once a year.

Didn't some one get banned so hard even there name was banned?

The coupe got it's belts done this week and the flexy replaced smile it drives like an actual car now and was actually two teeth out on the timing.
Things to fix not are blower not working in anything other than 4
Recyrc flap over adjusting and clicking
Water ingress though rear wiper
Icv seems to be dead.... I worry the issue isn't with icv it's with what ever is controling it

So, I hold him, and so should you all, completely responsible for me being here, The wife was not happy when i said i had bought another coupe...
