Practical Performance Car

Приєднався 19 жов 2007
Practical Performance Car is the home of performance cars and tuning for grown-ups. Originally launched as a print magazine in 2004, PPC has now evolved into a fully fledged UA-cam channel featuring a fusion of all things automotive.
Focusing on classic cars that enthusiasts can (and do) build on their drive/garage/shed/living room floor, PPC is hosted by magazine founder and editor, Will Holman, and long-term contributor, Ben Allen.
Will and Ben are both petrolheads with an unhealthy obsession about buying/fixing/destroying/hoarding old cars. Cars with personality, cars with soul, cars for the love of (cool) cars.

This barn find Fiat Panda got the full restomod engine swap treatment. And we absolutely love it.
Joe Ward bought this Fiat Panda as a barn find that hadn't even done enough miles to be run in. Did he leave it standard? Absolutely not - he dropped in a bike throttlebodied Fiat Punto 16 valver and slammed it as low as it would go. South Yorkshire speed bumps: you have been warned.

Makes sense. The 2CV is not so great in a collision - just like a bike.
In my youth (63 now) I recall an article in a German Motor press paper about an Renault R4 equipped with the 110hp drivetrain of the R5 alpine… this sounds even more crazy 🙂
We 👏🏻 must 👏🏻 legalize 👏🏻 engine 👏🏻 swapping 👏🏻 in 👏🏻 Italy!
That’s a proper restomod ❤
And the dents oh the rusty dents
Cracking car, but a t jet would of been better. Sorry. The panda 100 guys do it. I'm doing my 2nd mk1 punto t jet.
There’s room for more in that engine, cars can be a bottomless pit if you have the eagerness and the money to put into them. Great build for sure.
Outstanding build! Congratulations! A college friend had a Europa that one night “somehow” ended up going off the road into some bushes! We simply got out and picked the car up to put it back on the road.
What a great little car, great sound, great colour, always liked Europas.
A bit faster than the Panda 34 I had long ago. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Brilliant Car!
Looks cool I love it my mate had a modified Uno turbo back in the day it was great fun ❤❤❤
Symphonic Engine sound...bit like a Merlin....splendid mates sterling machine Brilliant absolutely 💯 👏
Way nice ❤love the show.
J’aime beaucoup.
Pandas were never cool but that's one cool Panda
Joe's a top lad and that car is epic.
Nurbergring?
bel lavoro ci vuole una garret
Needed a turbo sorry That thing with a uno turbo donkey or a cheap fiat engine turbod is the way I’d of gone
Maybe the next iteration of it 😁
That's a lovely looking and those Wheels matched with a Sweet sounding Engine 😍
Stunning little Panda! My German relatives ran a large Fiat dealership over there and on a visit long ago they tossed me the keys to a Panda and let me wander around town in it. Loved the simplicity and practicality of it - we do not have cars like it in the States. I'd love to have one rodded up a bit like this, maybe keeping the interior more stock and using Fiat 500 parts where I could so I could keep it running using dealer parts!
Very cool. Yeah there's just nothing to them. İncredibly simple - like a few hatches from that era really.
Heather on Brookside would have liked it!
Very cool! I love the wheels 😍
We'd love to know how many sets are still in existence. Never seen them before Joe's car!
That looks mint! Tastefully done, and those wheels! 🤘
The wheels: like waffles but colder
Già simpatica di suo, così trattata diventa pure un must have 😉
What a great build... sounds awesome 👌
Glad you like it!
Why not youse the 1.4 16v? Love the car
Potential future plan for Joe 😁
@ppcmagazine another question hahahha why dosent any body use the Fiat 1.8 or 2.0 ltr engines. I understand why not in the panda.
@@cp88p43 I Guess the weight and size of a 2.0 Engine maybe too much in the Bay? I do agree the 1.4 engine from the Modern Panda would be a Great Swap especially on Bike Carbs!
@@cp88p43weight ..it would ruin handling ..I'm sure have done it though
One bald guy constantly "politely" interrupts another bald guy while he's trying to express an opinion and tell something. Instead, all he has to do is give in to questions that aren't always appropriate. This style of communication should be introduced in conversations with Trump, Putler, Musk and other fascist scum, so that they don't even have time to finish a sentence with their delusional .
Pure class 👌🏻
Sounds great on those bike carbs 🥰
Doesn't get much better than that does it 😁
Shpulda bought a bpx yrailet
A what now? 😄
That Rat badge is used by the old Bill ,
Cool Panda.
Agreed. We featured another one last summer and forgot just how cool they were. Panda resurgence? 😁
Lovely
Absolutely love this build of Joe's, as I've told him, proper home brewed madness and absolutely chuffed it's getting the right attention well done that man!!!
seen this on twin engined corsa's channel. mad build :)
Glad you enjoyed. We'll have to take a closer look at that Corsa..!
Sweet ride! She's mint!
She is indeed 😁
Looks very interesting 🤔
Good round corners?
has this 2cv ever been featured in the magazine if so what issue or month and year thankyou in advance
very cool. I want to ride like this panda.
Well, I own a 2CV (original engine :), and a bmw bike (r9t, with a rather similar engine - 1200 cc). This mod got me thinking... 🤔😂
...a real sportscar! This was my second car in the age of 19. I regret so much, i sell this razor sharp driving machine end of the eighties...
Why not just ride a BMW motorcycle. It's faster
Where's the fun in that? 🤣
Presumably there is an extremely slow & heavy BMW rt out there with 29hp
One of my absolute favourite cars. As a child I had many Matchbox/Lesney model cars, and if I saw a Europa I wanted it.
Posiblemente esa debería haber sido la evolución de éste vehículo... Un motor con al menos 1000cc, un mejor cruce de levas y un poco más de compresión...
