Restoration of Daihatsu Charade G11 1986

[IceCold]

The labour of dent correction was 25K, and the paint job would cost me around 30, i havent bought the hood right now it would be somewhere around 8K, the front fenders cost me 3800 a pair and 1200 for one door panel, the base potien is of SACHI (polyester puty) , painter says its good,

I have to ask you are buying most of the things new bonnet, fenders, even door panel, than why is the denter charging so much? Also if you are going to spend 30K on paint, may i suggest to add a bit more and get it baked paint in a heat chamber.

The didnt have rust, but it was molested in a way, that there was alot of puty on everything, and i only bought one door panel, rest are the same.. and firewall was pretty bad, left side of front was damaged, chassi damage, thats why its tht much, and i think a regular paint job would be okay SIKKENS will be used, inside out, and he just quoted me 30, will bring him around 25K or so, and Everything mechanical will be done by myself.

this is the firewall, it had cuts from place to place, i was wondering what the previous owner wanted to do, the bonnet was also pretty bad, with a big ugly hood scoop, thts why replacing

Puty puty everywhere, :-\ this thing raised the cost, it was like applying puty without dent correction..

I welded the pieces, because it was cut open from place to place, for pipes and wires,

Ic. So you understand the mechanical stuff? Thats great. Would like to meet you sometime. I have the same model charade with me. Had done most of the mechanical work but never completely to my satisfaction. The most annoying is the Kharka in the disks. They say there is a lock pin which is missing and i cant seem to find it in Lahore.
I will also get it painted sometime this year but cant seem to makeup my mind from where to get it. There is too much chorbazaari and very few know how to paint the car well. My cousin who also has a charade already got ripped with a pathetic paint job for his 84 Charade. Which is why i suggested you to maybe try and go for a baked paint as you are already putting too much effort in the car, the end result is where the satisfaction would lie.

sure bro, where are you located, and for the kharka, make its the discs, not the callipers and pads,
and for the paint job i guess baked paint costs a lot more, i recently got 2 cars painted tht wass last year under open sky, result was good, u have to consider the weather, and the puty base tht the painter does, but i will look into bake paint on this one, lets see,

I am in Lahore brother but i know Islamabad very well. Spent my entire school and college life there. Yes i got the callipers opened and Kharida did put a bush inside costed around 200 for one side. The mechanic suggested to do the same for the left side as well. Will do that and see how quiet my ride becomes. Every time you get your open there are so many issues that even mechanics get tired say sir kal aya ga loll.
I agree paint depends upon weather alot as weather in Lahore is very dusty. Compared to that Islamabad is neat and clean so maybe you have a point here. I am subscribed to your thread. BOL

The callipers have pins, tht have rubber bushing, tht rubber dies with age, or is damaged, or removed when mechanics here in Pak do the work, tht is where the kharak comes from,. Rotors become tight when you tighten the lugnuts, so i guess its the callipers, and bro will look forward meeting you,
