660ppm HC, I see!

& what about diesel cars/vans?

Japanese cars of 80's and even mid 90's are not very popular in Europe. (except Corolla & Landcruiser)

Here are the newest pictures from my G10 Charade, I clean it this morning and it still looks like new. I am so proud of it! She is so beautifull, is'nt it?

So they only check the sooty particle count otherwise named "blackening rate" this value should not increase 2,5m ^-1

Japanese cars of the 80's are here more and more beloved after a long and hard period of "using it and then put it away"

Thats the car of a friend of mine:

It's a Mitsubishi A121A from 1980.

And here a Mazda 1800 from 1971, this car will be still used every day!!

So those are very less people how really like old japanese cars like I do, but this scene is growing up currently

I got a "new" G10 Charade from the neighborhood, but currently I am not sure what I want to do with it. As I "bet" for it I thaunk that I would like to collect spare parts such as bumper, Interiour and such things. But if this car is really in that good condition as it currently looks like......

What do you mean?

got an untouched scratchless g11 white color in 2005

UsmanAnsari (UsmanAnsari) 2010-07-28 15:45:45 +0500 #168

thats in a very sweet condition rainer, especially looking at the interior.. for how much did u get it from? n i can also see some old daihatsu cuores around, whats this place?

Rainer (Rainer) 2010-07-28 19:04:01 +0500 #169

Thanks

I get it for 200,- Euro (~22.000,- PKR).

The place is an old Daihatsu Dealer's office, now it is'nt any more a Daihatsu Dealer, or did you mean the location where it is?

UsmanAnsari (UsmanAnsari) 2010-07-29 07:07:36 +0500 #170

^ thats a bargain price if u ask me.. over here the rusted busted ones sell for 45,000-50,000rs.. price for the condition like this one will be somewhere around 90,000rs

what about the mileage? i can see some 43000+ on the odo

Rainer (Rainer) 2010-07-29 09:21:13 +0500 #171

This depend on what people pay for such a car. For me the price is fair a bargain price here for a car like this in that condtion (not running and de-assemlbed engine) with that age is between 0 and 50,- Euro (5500,- rs).

Why?

Nobudy want such an old car, nobody really likes the G10 here (only if it is really an bargain price) and the goverment makes it very hard to hold such a car street legal. So our cars must be going to a technical check once a year, and the needs to solve this check are very high. And most controller have the order that the MUST find issues on older cars. At the last technical check of my blue G10 the controller markes that the wind shild have a crack, so this is not possible on the windscreen of the G10 this is only secure glass so it bounce to million of pieces if if brokes, it could not crack!! Or they told me that the right front wheel bearing makes some noises and has to replaced (what it does'nt do). Another one markes the exhaust gas, so he means the car did not run good on idle, after I told him that he have to pull the choke if the car is cold he repait the test and it passes as it should. And so on. They are stupid sometimes don't know why.

Old cars are dirty is the common text....

Rainer (Rainer) 2010-07-29 10:45:37 +0500 #175

Oh my dear! It sounds like a car heaven!!

You can imagine that it is not very easy to hold such old cars street legal here where you having problems to get spare parts . All cars must fullfill this check, if this check is passed you know that EVERYTHING on this car working fine yust like a new car...

over here no such system exist.. you will also be surprised to know that cars from the 80s era with the same obsolete carburetor engine are still produced here today and sold at a hefty price of 500,000rs

nfssaad (nfssaad) 2010-07-30 08:27:15 +0500 #178

suzuki (old alto) mehran

obsolete in late 89...

but we still have the 2010 model in production

nfssaad (nfssaad) 2010-07-30 08:28:39 +0500 #179

thing is new cars are pathetic build quality and extremely over priced... only suzuki honda and toyota are here.. and because they have no competition they own the car market and do what they want.

so old cars have a lot of value here.

Update:

Please hold in mind, all pictures are made TODAY!!!

The golden one will be deassembled complete, the rest I did tomorrow...
Then we make the Petra's G10 (the red one) DRIVEABLE till Sunday next week then it goes to wintersleep (booth red and blue), the "rest" of the golden one will be wrecked (no space left for it and we need all the parts)...

The red front right fender has 2 big dents and a rust hole, the blue one has only very small dint, so I changed it.
Next weekend I change 3 doors (driver, co-driver and rear door co-drivers side).

Belive it or not, THIS is (16 years old) fuel!!

The color of this "fluid" is dark red and it smells like nothing else.
I connect the engine complete electrical, build in the other steering box and connect also the carburator. Cooling liquid is also filled in. Still miss gearbox oil, igintion cables and a batterie..
Anyone has remove same parts of this car within the last 16 years like the brake cylinder on the rear axle...
On Sunday I will change also the fuel tank and maybe also the complete rear axle, the we make the first start try with fresh fuel.

One of the last pictures of the golden one before it goes to his last travel on 16. September 2010 Thank you for sooo many parts
