Saw an engine from a 100HP earlier too but that was about £900!

That interior is scary! Has it mostly lived under the sea or to transport dead farm animals? I'd be hitting that with lots of chemicals, lots of steam and maybe fire.
You could make money on this for charity, challenge people to a sponsored sit in the car. Similar to sponsored silence but with the added bonus of inventing a new disease that medical science hasn't yet discovered.
I used to get lifts to the pub off a farmer; a few times he rolled up in a pug 106 that variously had the backseat occupied by bags of feed supplement, a dead sheep, and as the pièce de résistance a mud-covered quad wheel and tyre. The rest of the interior was Jackson Pollocked by muddy sheepdog tails. This Panda is clean by comparison.You could make money on this for charity, challenge people to a sponsored sit in the car.

We watched a farmer loading a three-door Corsa B with half a dozen sheep (per trip) a little while back. I dread to think what the inside of that was like.(Two in the boot, two on the back seat, one in the front footwell, one on the passenger seat, if you're intrigued)
Saw an Octavia in a scrap yard that reminded me of this. Had the L&K Full leather interior. The sunroof had a thick messy bead of silicone sealant on it, the interior literally had moss growing out of the seats. The car hadn't been in the scrapyard long and all the windows/doors were shut! The rear had the seats flat and it was COVERED in straw and *ahem* mess. My only guess is they were using it on a farm to transport livestock!
Please put that Abarth engine in it. It'll be hilarious.

Someone get a just giving page up and running for toastie and i'll put my donation in for sure. Just to see this puppy run again.
Toastie, if this happens, there has to be full video documentary on the removal/ refitting process (skin knuckles and swearing mandatory), and that first engine start!

Break it for parts and weigh the rest in. It won't be worth the hassle to get it running again and chase the faults.
Alternatively, there are enough morons on eBay that I reckon you'd see your money back on there.

Strip the useful bits off it (steering column, lights, mirrors, wheels, calipers, any straight panels) eBay them, and scrap the rest. If you start with changing the engine you're never ever going to see your money back on an interstellar mileage base model Panda.

This makes me wish I kept the TRASHES 330D I bought off a co-worker last year. I stripped it for parts and made money on it, but it was an absolute pain in the arse in the process! Sure its turbo was pretty much f
ked and it felt unsafe to drive but I still think it was worth a good laugh.
This guy had been living out of it (literally) for 10 or so years, and smoked... not just normal fags either. Made your Panda look Concourse.
Wheres the fun in scrapping it anyway?
