charades!! bring back some mad memories!!
uno turbos,strada abarths lol!!
the suzuki swifts were pretty quick too, not seen one in years!!
fella this is an excellent thread,threads like these are really handy for people like me that are new to panel and welding repair!!as i have not got a clue but seeing the work done points me in the right direction!makes it a whole lot easier!!
just shows that anything is possible and its not all gloom!
rtoc is the bible!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:coffee:
Re: My Previous Work On A Charade Gtti - Full Restoration 4 Under £1000
That looks brilliant. Did you do all the body work your self?
A very good job :agree:
Re: My Previous Work On A Charade Gtti - Full Restoration 4 Under £1000
Yeah i had a uno turbo and a swift gti, it went like stink for a 1.3 n/a lump...
Yeah that charade made me £2500 quid on a ebay auction so a clear £1500 profit... But i was putting 70 hours a week into it..
All work carried out myself and i got a friend to help me paint it, I'd love to do a r5 project, a nice r5 gtt be right up my street... :cool:

Re: My Previous Work On A Charade Gtti - Full Restoration 4 Under £1000
aint seen one of them for a while. good job, looks like you commeted alot but for a good budjet whats the power/cc/0-60 on them?
pursume is lighter than the r5?
Re: My Previous Work On A Charade Gtti - Full Restoration 4 Under £1000
They have a 993 cc engine 3 cylinder, power of nearly 100 bhp, and 0-60 in about 7 or 8 seconds, thats all standard times..
They will quite happily take alot more boost, you can run them up to 180 bhp b4 touching internals like pistons etc.. Mine ran emanage for fuel,boost,map,spark etc, a healthy 160 bhp with no issuses... :agree:
Re: My Previous Work On A Charade Gtti - Full Restoration 4 Under £1000
impresive, it looked shot to pieces on the first pics.
great results
Re: My Previous Work On A Charade Gtti - Full Restoration 4 Under £1000
Yeah, i was a budget rebuild and i just came in under £1000 by pence i think lol, but the amount of man hours i put into this car was unreal, to pay some one else to weld it would have just been pointless but i wanted summit to do over christmas, whole project lasted about 3 months from start to finish and i sold it for £2200... Miss it bad but i got my new project, my 4 door sleeper :cool:
