SambaS Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 I'm so excited, even if it turns out to be a bit of a dog... it's barely run in!
KruJoe Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I know you hate the colour, but I'll just leave this here for you. mk2_craig and SambaS 2
DodgyBastard Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 There's one in my local breakers, will find a pic...
SambaS Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 H991 YSR..... cant find any info on that one, is it black?
SambaS Posted September 27, 2014 Author Posted September 27, 2014 A deal has been struck. The money for the car is now in the south of England. It's in the hands of fate now, as I know if the scrap men come out they will be hard pushed to leave without it. Not counting my chickens yet but massive thanks to TwoSmoke for agreeing to help with this KruJoe, trigger and Jim Bell 3
Jim Bell Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Count all the chickens now. Nothing can go wrong. Life's too short to not count chickens yet. SambaS 1

SambaS Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 I hope it's not too good as I wont dare use it!
SambaS Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 This came in the post so I can decide what colour I want my Charade Diesel Turbo in
twosmoke300 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Well , its home . Dragged it in behind the van with no real issues until we turned into my lane where I heard a scraping noise and brother tooted the horn . We both thought the exhaust had fallen off but it was infact the fuel tank !! Obviously the 2 cable ties that the previous owner used to temp hold it up had given up . Quick bit of rope bodging and we made it . Lucky it didnt happen on the road tho. Its a bloody tidy old car too . Rear arches and sills look sound and the mileage is beliveable. Sorry for the crap phone pics but I was in a rush and im no photographer. Bodge upsWinner!! skattrd, EssDeeWon, SambaS and 2 others 5
twosmoke300 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Bonus totally unrelated trout tickling pics of me during a road trial a few years ago.Just found them when uploading the charade pics Starting to go wrong Gone wrong holbeck, SambaS and mat_the_cat 3
SambaS Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Oh it looks lovely thank you so much TwoSmoke, I'd have cried if this ended up back in the scrap yard! KruJoe 1
KruJoe Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 So what's been going on with the fuel tank/pump/lines then?
twosmoke300 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 It was at a scrappies and some one had the pump .
KruJoe Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Bloody hell - I didn't realise it was that close to being frag fodder.Well saved lads!
SambaS Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Joe the seller purchased it from a scrappy as a project, I think. Then never did anything with it. They were coming out for it again this week I phoned just in time
SambaS Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Should I buy this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DAIHATSU-CHARADE-1990-PETROL-FUEL-PUMP-196100-0350-23210-87710-REF-P13-/321506746841?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4adb4ba1d9
