Memories. My wife and I bought a new Panda in around 1985 from a Fiat Dealership in Watford. They offered to chop it's roof off for an extra fee. A convertible Panda. 😢

Goodness, that's a fairly serious factory modification option!

Are the lifting blocks on the leaf spring not tapered? I heard it should be tapered to make sure prop shaft stays better in line to axle

[@allthingsandyb]

Yes they are tapered, and yes you have heard correct - they should be tapered to prevent excess wear on the CV joints of the prop shaft.
