This is a Panda 45 first type 1980/84. In Italy it is a legend, I love this car (I have a Panda 30). It's nearly impossible to find one of them, now, in decent condition, because of rust, the main issue of these Panda first type. Dear Flexiny, I hope you save the engine of this Panda... And other good parts. These Panda are very different from Panda built after 1985 and original body and interior spare parts are very expensive and difficult to find. Greetings from Italy. I love all your videos. Giuseppe
Greetings from Spain... As other people have commented, the fact that this car works and you can drive it in the state it is in indicates that despite being an economical vehicle it was very tough and with proper care it could last for many kilometers and years...

that bunch of rusted metal and wires, someone survived 17 YEARS of damages and STILL running after minor intervention.....its something short of AMAZING! Never seen a car do that!
Incredible, this Fiat abandoned all these years works easily in a few attempts, proving that he is a warrior-killer, congratulations on reviving him....💯💯💯
Poor little Panda. Not surprised at its condition after 17 years in a bush but she still fired up and ran, just very grumpily. 😂 A shame it’s almost certainly done for with all that rust, early ‘80-‘85 Pandas are nearly completely gone now.
@@cerrystyle Oh I believe you that they are still more common in Italy, I meant here in Britain they are no longer seen anymore. Glad to hear they’re still around in Italy though. 👍
This car is already a legend, I always liked its shape and especially when it was in 4x4, this small car is very good, for obstacles, already because it is compact and it fit almost everywhere, it's a shame that there aren't so many of them anymore, otherwise great video as always 😁
I have the same engine in my first car a long long ago. a fiat 850. give it only a bit of love and it never let you down. This poor Panda still have a happy Healthy soul inside
I've been waiting to see this little guy since I spotted him in another video. I was not surprised he fired up easily, and the body hasn't completely dissolved. No surprise the electrics don't work either. 😄 I had a 1987 mk2 pamda with the FIRE engine. I've always loved these little cars. Great work.😊

Poor Fiat Panda. I feel sorry for this car that the owners neglected it so much. I have never seen this car model and there are probably very few of them in the world. But despite how bad the sheet metal and the whole chassis are, this little car still has the will to fight and drives. Simply amazing. It's nice that you washed it and you could imagine a little what it used to look like. To bring it back to the road condition, you need a lot of welding and all the art, if not the replacement of individual elements. Is beautiful. If someone made it and lowered it on larger rims, it would be just a miracle on wheels. What are you going to do with it? Thanks for helping this car 🤍
unbelievable: a little service on fuellines and ignition, this cute little Panda fires up as it would run the last time 3 days ago =). even idle is ok, wow. carburated cars aren't as bad as often said. the moment you lost the exhaust i was laughin' heartily, but it's a miracle that the body didn't collapse in this condition. opening the right door could tear this poor thing apart i thought. when you're pressurewashing the Panda i was afraid that you could blast holes in the sheet-metal, but after finishing the washing i felt somehow lucky. as always: a great vid, flexiny, no unnecessary words, only useful informations and a good, solid work. after my hard and disappointing day this vid makes me calm and smilin' =)
I thought this panda will be extinct after the pressure washer. No stuck alternator, clutch is fine, etc. So many things that could go wrong did not. Amazing, thanks.
Love it, literally falling apart as you drove it yet not giving up. Love the Mk1. I just picked up one of the last 4x4 Panda Cross models being sent to the UK. Always loved its Twinair 2 cylinder
The panda in italy is still used a lot, there are a lot of them in every street also my dad owns a 4x4 Sisley for the country, it has almost 400.000 km but still work good
Am meisten musste ich lachen, wie hartnäckig der platte Reifen auf der Felge war. Das macht mir Mut, wenn ich mal einen Platten an unserem Panda habe (1000 Fire, 220000 Km, 32 Jahre alt und jeden Tag in Deutschland im Einsatz. Selbst 300 Kilo Steine hat er mir nach Hause transportiert. Die Hinterachse hat einen robusten Anschlag aus Gummi. 😂 Aber alle zwei Jahre muß ich mindestens 50 Stunden ROST VORSORGE machen. Große Schäden hat er all die Jahre nicht gehabt. Er hat verzinktes Blech !!! Nur die Falze sind anfällig für Korrosion, da das Blech an den Kanten nicht verzinkt ist. Die Technik ist dank kontaktloser Einspritzung sehr robust. Natürlich ist eine regelmäßige Wartung (Ölwechsel , Bremsen säubern, usw.) wichtig. Eine regelmäßige Hohlraum- versiegelung ist sehr wichtig. Beim Panda braucht man kein Sonderwerkzeug. Alles ist so einfach, wie Lego zu zerlegen und Ersatzteile gibt es auch noch reichlich. Allerdings muss man auch reparieren können und einen guten Platz und die Zeit dafür haben.
Another great video, especially liked this one because I had one exactly like this 25 years ago, those fire engines were absolutely great little units, but the body is no surprise!

I have an early one, never kept in a garage and has no rust at all, it has over 300.000km and still works nicely. They're quite good for what they are...
You must be living in a warm, southern country, i guess... I have a late 1st generation Panda from 1986 in great condition and those are very rare in germany, where i live. Most of them rusted away after a few years...
@@riejurv50 Mine was built in spain aswell and it's a Fiat. Before i had two Seat Marbella and was looking for another one. But i found the Fiat and it was so good in condition, i had to buy it.... 😅
I believe that there’s almost no car which is beyond restoration! It is only a question of how dear is it to your heart ; how much money are you willing to spend on it?!

Tutto il denaro del mondo non vale quanto questo PANDINO. Io il mio PANDINO 900 lo tengo come un gingillo. Da quando me l'ha dato l'amico mio ho speso un bel po' per rimetterlo a posto ma adesso è rinato. Quindi con un po' di buona volontà si può fare molto anche per questa macchina. Un abbraccio a tutti
@@giuseppemarilli C'è troppa ruggine, è completamente marcia, i fondi sono andati, ha più buchi del groviera, non si può farci nulla ormai, anche se restaurata, spendendoci una valanga di soldi, non sarebbe sicura perché la ruggine ha intaccato troppo le lamiere. Se mai dovessi fare un incidente con quest'auto, va in briciole.

Dear Sirs, thankyou so much for a wonderful video - it was great to see the Panda enjoy one last adventure! What an amazing car! The parts from this MK1 (1979 - 1985) are now very rare, it would be wonderful if you could help other Panda enthusiasts when you have finished with the vehicle. Keep up the great work, hopefully you can find another Panda very soon! Thankyou. P.s the red dots on the speedometer are to tell the driver the optimum revs at which to change gear.
Flat panda sitting there for 17 years poor vehicle needs loving pull out of vehicle as possible and work on it battery full detail inside and out awesome video friend best mechanic in the world keep bringing new videos
I feel sorry for this little Fiat after seeing where it had been left to sink into the ground for nearly two decades, and the rust damage it suffered as a result. 😢 But I truly admire its heart and spirit for its willingness to run and drive once again regardless of the condition it is in! ♥It definitely deserved a far better fate than the people who abandoned it in a field like that. 😢
weird, here in italy we don't hear people that say that they rus a lot, we just hear people saying how good they are and how they're pretty much unstoppable
@@AnItalianGuyOnYT It depends on what they use to defrost the roads. In my country they use salt so many cars suffer from rust and after winter ends you can see these cars in body shops to get the rust removed.
One of the earliest pandas with off set slat grill and it had the little 903cc indestructible fire engines but poor little thing that floor pan wow thought the body and chassis were separated. Awsome video flexiny shame the panda couldn't be saved but she's to far gone I'd expect.
I couldn't help but laugh when you opened the bonnet (hood in the US) and the reinforcement just stayed in place. Reminded of that episode of Top Gear when they did British Leyland cars, one of the presenters opened the car door and the whole door card remained in place! 🤣
Me encantan los Panda y Marbella del grupo "Seat" pero éste fiat panda quiere vivir un poco más. 2oportunidad al viejo y querido bicilindrico panda 45. Saludos desde Uruguay.
I had a 1986 upgrade Fiat Panda 1000CL with the 999cc FIRE engine and I loved the little car. It was the only car I've ever own that never failed a MOT. The biggest drawback was rust on the door panels, and I replaced every panel while I had it including the bonnet and tailgate! Another major irritant was the clutch cables tended to brake so I always carried a spare. The cables were however easily replaced even at the roadside in about 20minutes! The non servo brakes were also a issue the pads had to be replaced frequently(at around half worn) but again were easy to work on. It was a nippy little car that was cheap but cheerful, fun to drive, looked nice and had excellent fuel economy, but the seats were a bit uncomfortable in long journeys.
@@ramonllobetpla4033 En España, el Seat Panda motor 903cc de 45cv, nunca montó carburador doble cuerpo. Todos tenían un mono cuerpo. Los únicos que lo montaron fueron los Seat 127 motor 1010cc de 52cv de potencia.
Hai ragione. In Italia solo le versioni 982cc e 1050cc ABARTH montavano il carburatore doppio corpo. In Spagna solo il SEAT 1010cc, che per altro aveva pure la cinghia dentata al posto della catena di distribuzione....

You must be living in a warm, southern country, i guess... I have a late 1st generation Panda from 1986 in great condition and those are very rare in germany, where i live. Most of them rusted away after a few years...
In Spain, where they were built by Seat, mine's a rebadged Fiat as is an early one, i've got other very rusty cars, but not this one...
@@riejurv50 Mine was built in spain aswell and it's a Fiat. Before i had two Seat Marbella and was looking for another one. But i found the Fiat and it was so good in condition, i had to buy it.... 😅
@@___Steinn___ ow man just dont look under the doors
@@xabussas1362 I did. They are surprisingly good! 😅🤞
I cannot believe that thing works!!... You are a great mechanic. Don´t risk your live anymore, you prove your point.
It stood for 17 years, and it started up as if it had been parked a week ago ...

Il pandino non delude 🙌
NON DELUDE MAI
Si...ma non se salva niente è un ammasso di ruggine buono per lo sfascio
@@robyrp82 COME OSI SNOBBARE IL PANDINO!?! Te che macchina hai così anche la tua sarà x lo sfascio 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈😈😈
@@giuseppeandrealiberato5034 il Pandino non si snobba mai, ma questo salvo il motore è veramente messa male se non peggio. Cmq ho una Toyota Aygo 🤣🤣🤣
I believe that there’s almost no car which is beyond restoration! It is only a question of how dear is it to your heart ; how much money are you willing to spend on it?!
Jak najbardziej jest takie które nie da się odrestaurować. Tu masz doskonały przykład co Ty chcesz tu ratować 😂 jest tak zgniły że cała buda się huśta nie ma co do czego spawać to trumna na kółkach cud że w ogóle ten trup odpalił 😅
At this point it's more rust than car!
Too rusty for restoring, and no much left even spare part car
Tutto il denaro del mondo non vale quanto questo PANDINO. Io il mio PANDINO 900 lo tengo come un gingillo. Da quando me l'ha dato l'amico mio ho speso un bel po' per rimetterlo a posto ma adesso è rinato. Quindi con un po' di buona volontà si può fare molto anche per questa macchina. Un abbraccio a tutti
@@giuseppemarilli C'è troppa ruggine, è completamente marcia, i fondi sono andati, ha più buchi del groviera, non si può farci nulla ormai, anche se restaurata, spendendoci una valanga di soldi, non sarebbe sicura perché la ruggine ha intaccato troppo le lamiere. Se mai dovessi fare un incidente con quest'auto, va in briciole.
Motore serie 100 con aste e bilancieri 903 di cilindrata montato su una marea di machine non solo fiat
Questo motore viene dal epoca dei dinosauri molto economico ed estremamente affidabile 💪💪💪
Dear Sirs, thankyou so much for a wonderful video - it was great to see the Panda enjoy one last adventure! What an amazing car! The parts from this MK1 (1979 - 1985) are now very rare, it would be wonderful if you could help other Panda enthusiasts when you have finished with the vehicle. Keep up the great work, hopefully you can find another Panda very soon! Thankyou.
P.s the red dots on the speedometer are to tell the driver the optimum revs at which to change gear.
Flat panda sitting there for 17 years poor vehicle needs loving pull out of vehicle as possible and work on it battery full detail inside and out awesome video friend best mechanic in the world keep bringing new videos
I feel sorry for this little Fiat after seeing where it had been left to sink into the ground for nearly two decades, and the rust damage it suffered as a result. 😢 But I truly admire its heart and spirit for its willingness to run and drive once again regardless of the condition it is in! ♥It definitely deserved a far better fate than the people who abandoned it in a field like that. 😢
The legend says that if it rains you can hear how they rust.
weird, here in italy we don't hear people that say that they rus a lot, we just hear people saying how good they are and how they're pretty much unstoppable
@@AnItalianGuyOnYT It depends on what they use to defrost the roads. In my country they use salt so many cars suffer from rust and after winter ends you can see these cars in body shops to get the rust removed.
@@AnItalianGuyOnYTdid you even look at the video?

Coś pięknego!:) Mam Fiata 127 z takim samym silnikiem 903 cm , wyremontowanym ale ten chyba brzmi o wiele lepiej :)
Complimenti per il video Dj Vecio 🔊

Fiat Panda va ovunque 📹👈🔝🔝👋👋
One of the earliest pandas with off set slat grill and it had the little 903cc indestructible fire engines but poor little thing that floor pan wow thought the body and chassis were separated. Awsome video flexiny shame the panda couldn't be saved but she's to far gone I'd expect.
What a great design the Panda was. Never understood why there was no 5 doors version .
La versión 5ptas sólo existió como un prototipo. Supongo que pudo ver la luz para que se más popular el de 3ptas.
This is fiat uno and in brazil are 4 doors.
@@Bianchini_edu Nada a ver com o uno
@@gabrielv.4358 kkkkk é o uno SIM. Nao tem nada de palio isso SIM.
The automotive resurrection in today's video was heavy... congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You just made my day with that last car wash 😂
Almost new !
Mon oncle en avait une en bleu, elle était belle et j'aimais bien cette voiture. Que de souvenirs 🚙
Many things can be done for a classic, but the best thing is to save it from oblivion. Thanks for this 👍🇦🇷
Das Panda!!!!
Si accende sempre 😂.in Italia è un 'istituzione, patrimonio dell'umanità
Una panda ripartirebbe pure dopo 30 anni in fondo a un fiume! Che macchina ❤ gran bel video!
Otimo vídeo como sempre!!! Fiat Panda 🐼 aí, ja aque no Brsil é Fiat uno e com escadas
You did go back !! 🎉🎉 you have no idea how much I enjoy your content. Great video again. 🚗 🫶
I couldn't help but laugh when you opened the bonnet (hood in the US) and the reinforcement just stayed in place.
Reminded of that episode of Top Gear when they did British Leyland cars, one of the presenters opened the car door and the whole door card remained in place! 🤣
Sei un grande e il Pandino anche completamente marcio cammina ancora io ne ho uno del 2003 e va che una meraviglia bravo bel video complimenti
Io ne ho uno del 2002 e va benissimo.
here in italy the mk1 fiat panda is still one of the most common cars
Yes, but only restyling type produced from 1986 to 2003, this is a pre-restyling 1980-1986 and it's pretty rare also in Italy.
@ true, i didn't think of that
Watching that car get cleaned was the most satisfying video on RUclips! 😲
It's 3:51 am here lol. Awesome video and cute panda! I wish we had Pandas in Brazil, very cool car, specially in its awd model. Great video!
Fue como revivir a un muerto, que ahora va a 2km/h y te deja sordo
Tremendous job👏👏
I had a 4x4 example 1988 to 1992 it was a very capable little car and I loved it. Economical and reliable.
Me encantan los Panda y Marbella del grupo "Seat" pero éste fiat panda quiere vivir un poco más. 2oportunidad al viejo y querido bicilindrico panda 45. Saludos desde Uruguay.
Absolute legend
🇮🇹🚗💨💨💨🇮🇹
I had a 1986 upgrade Fiat Panda 1000CL with the 999cc FIRE engine and I loved the little car. It was the only car I've ever own that never failed a MOT. The biggest drawback was rust on the door panels, and I replaced every panel while I had it including the bonnet and tailgate! Another major irritant was the clutch cables tended to brake so I always carried a spare. The cables were however easily replaced even at the roadside in about 20minutes! The non servo brakes were also a issue the pads had to be replaced frequently(at around half worn) but again were easy to work on.
It was a nippy little car that was cheap but cheerful, fun to drive, looked nice and had excellent fuel economy, but the seats were a bit uncomfortable in long journeys.
Un rescate precioso, buen trabajo 👍🏻
fiats are tough, engines are tough. Older ones rotted but they are one of my favourite little cars ( pandas)
Increible que en ese estado funcione. El motor no parece el original 903. Al menos la culata y el carburador de doble cuerpo.
Si que es original. Lo que pasa es que es de los ultimos modelos.
@@ramonllobetpla4033 En España, el Seat Panda motor 903cc de 45cv, nunca montó carburador doble cuerpo. Todos tenían un mono cuerpo.
Los únicos que lo montaron fueron los Seat 127 motor 1010cc de 52cv de potencia.
Hai ragione. In Italia solo le versioni 982cc e 1050cc ABARTH montavano il carburatore doppio corpo. In Spagna solo il SEAT 1010cc, che per altro aveva pure la cinghia dentata al posto della catena di distribuzione....
On all 4 cylinders after being laid up that... Powerful to see
Молодцы ребята. Молча, с толком, и знанием дела.

Beautiful car. It’s the first Serie. Please bring it back to Life. ❤
This car is dead man.

Выхлоп прямоток, будет первый парень на деревне
Im pretty stunned that theres any car left as the fiats of this era were mega mega rust buckets. Great to see though, very nostalgic 😊
Great video,. One of the problems with the Fiat brand is rust. But this car after a long time and it is abandoned is very bad. Though the engine still works. Sincere greetings to you video maker. I am following you from Algeria 🇩🇿
la fiat ha fatto motori fantastici,piccoli efficienti è facili da riparare,grande panda non ti lasciava mai a piedi
Dang, it's not in good shape at all😬 but I'm surprised that it started after such a long time. Fiat never ends, true Italian power lol
Io ho una Panda 900 e grazie a me è rinata. Scattante, affidabile, versatile, parte a mezzo colpo... Insomma sono contento di averla. Un abbraccio a tutti e W LA PANDA 🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼
We Italians say that the fiat panda is the most durable car ever and this shows
FIAT, LANCIA an AR were create a lot of exellent cars, but most of them undeservedly forgotten. For example: did you ever seen the FIAT Palio Mk.2 hatcback with the brasilian engine? )
@@ttl3000 i know that one but i never saw it in person
@@celesterossi733 I owns one with the 1300 engine ) It is like Uno stage 2
That starter is so iconic, all old fiats sound like that!
Під капотом чистіше, ніж в машині
Wow. I remember my teacher in junior high back in the '80s and '90s discussing buying these Pandas
fire panda 30 engine never die
Lamentablemente la lámina estaba en muy mal estado de corrosión, sino era un lindo proyecto para reconstruir. Quedé impresionado cuando vi su motor que volvía a la vida.
Felicitaciones
In Italy this model of panda calls too “pandino”
Your videos in their simplicity are very beautiful and give me a good feeling that I have not seen anywhere else, and your skill is very pleasant and calm and overall excellent my friend.. 🙏😎✌️
Another great video flexiny I would never have thought in a million years that you would have got it going and driving ❤ you done it again 😂do ya think it will pass a mot 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Thanks! It will never pass mot in this condition without any brakes and there is alot rust holes :D
hola flexiny amigo un placer me encantan tus videos son super nitidos sigue asi mi bro saludos desde panama

Im amazed how good the bodywork is after all that time. I just got my Dads old car back which has stood 10-15 years. Got her running, next is new tyres n check brakes.
Fiat motors are like highlander .... never die
That car is unstoppable
Probably not a wise move washing the car, that moss looked like it was structural... :P
20 :00 я как керхер увидел-мне плохо стало )))🤣
It will rot for 20+years but this channel will revive it for a last joy, or a second chance.
By curious what do you do with the cars anyway?
Trying to sell to someone then they can use it for parts or fix.
in 20 years all of Europe will have only EVs and Hydrogen Cars no one will drive GAS Diesel LPG CNG unfortunately
