I’m really enjoying this series and looking forward to watching the rest over the next few days. It looks to be a great project and it’s nice to see some love going in to something less commonly seen being restored 👍
Great video! Thanks. I have one Charade with a dead engine. Can you tell me how hard is to swap a Toyota Yaris engine and automatic transmission into It? (Mine is already auto but i preffer to put a new one in place)
Thanks, I filmed a good bit more loosening those exhaust studs and working them out but the video was getting a bit long. There was a good crack off the last one before it turned.
Im still suprised how well its done over the last 25 yrs. There isn't many mk3 Charades left in the UK. Most of them have rusted away or been scrapped.
It’s done well alright, when we were looking for this car about 4 years ago most of the cars we looked at were pretty good body wise. I think they used pretty good metal.
They must have been well looked after. Im probably wrong about Charades rusting away because ive only ever see one rusty one in the UK. Charades are great little cars and dead reliable too.
It could be the road salt in the uk, because my general experience is that they've held up far better than 80's cars I've worked on and better than quite a few later 90's cars too.
Your Kadette has held up well too. Our salt is very coarse and on older cars here it really shows. Ive seen the salt get through underseal and leaves white marks.
I like to do it this way. You'd have to disconnect the gearbox and lower it out anyway so it's just as easy to lower the lot when you're disconnecting it anyway. I I find it easier to take off the gearbox with the engine out on the ground instead. It depends on the design of the car a bit too and how many subframes there are. I learnt to take engines out with just a jack so it's also a bit of a habit for me to go this way.

Glad you're enjoying them. I hope to start filming the next phase of work next week.
