Daihatsu Charade CS (1988) 5D Hatchback 5 SP Manual (993 cc - Carb)

***Please arrange to view the car before committing to buy!*** I have owned this car for the last 5-6 years. It has been the most reliable & easily maintained vehicle I've ever known of. It has been used as a shopping cart, town run-about, & back up car for my mother & myself. It is now time to part ways. Interior is in great condition. Seats are original cloth with no tears or sagging of foam. Car has never been smoked in during my ownership & was bought from a non-smoker. Over the years I have spent more money on this car than I'd like to admit. For a couple of years I was building the car to take a turbo engine conversion (hence the gauges & brake upgrade/overhaul). This never eventuated, but I carried on making it a very tidy example. I can give you engine numbers to look up & info on turbo conversions if this is the way you'd like to go. A full file of receipts & work done, with corresponding kilometres, can be viewed upon inspection of car. The motor was rebuilt at 211 XXXkm. Including big end bearings, piston rings, bores honed, valves reground, new stem seals, timing belt, & water pump. New drive shaft seals were fitted at the same time, along with an Exedy clutch kit. CV joints were replaced prior to rebuild The old points ignition is long gone. I converted the car to electronic ignition & fitted new leads at the same time. Point gap does not need to be checked or adjusted at intervals any more & timing doesn't go out of tune. Dizzy & coil out of G202 All fluid & vacuum lines have been replaced A full set of KYB struts & Pedders Sports Ryder coils (30mm lower than STD) have been fitted. All front & rear sway bar bushes have been replaced. Car has plenty of ground clearance. Never scrapes or bottoms out anywhere. Radiator has been replaced with a new Denso unit Brakes have been completely overhauled. New discs, pads, hoses, & rear linings, Front calipers fitted with new seals. Brake booster & master cylinder upgraded to G102S Alloy wheels fitted came off a GTiR Nissan Pulsar import. I had them powdercoated closs black & fitted with the tyres from the old wheels (Pirelli P6 with approx. 85% tread) Fitted with a Steelmate alarm, immobiliser, & remote central locking by previous owner Pioneer head unit reads MP3 CD's, USB flash drives, & has Ipod control All door seals have been replaced. Not a single leak anywhere! Open to all reasonable offers. I want to see it go to a good home! **Advertised elsewhere. Reserve right to end auction early if sold.
