cleaning the wiper motor, it ran v slow, so decided to open it apart and have a look, the old greasing was jamming the motor, so washed it wit kerosine oil, had it greased, carbon housing was a lil broken, fixed tgt with super glue.. and put it back together, and yes, it solved the problem,

A common problem with charade. Mine only has one driving side. Yesterday it was raining very heavily here in lahore and my viper was tun like on charas lol. You have the edge as you can do most of the work yourself. We on the other hand have to first find mechanics or electricians that know work and not to do jugar. Does your charade have both vipers?

My chaarade has both wipers, and get ur wiper motor serviced.. or maybe ur wiper is just loose, worn out carbon in the mator may cause it to run slow.. take a look ur self first,

In Lahore the most common choice among people is to swap it with a vitz 2004 engine either with auto or manual trany. My cousin has done similar with manual transmission in his 84 charade. Car as awesome pick and drive is really smooth. There are however others who have installed a 660cc engine. Well i wouldn't go for it as it will be too small. My own preference would be to keep it stock. The original charade engines are durable and easy to maintain.

I would go with vitz maybe, and 660 is too small, hehehe

Finding a charade turbo engine in decent condition is pretty hard..

If possible could you come up with some snaps...is it i.e. Vitz engine easily fit in or there is major alteration ??

Good luck with the project mate. I would suggest you to not go for the normal paint job, go for a booth paint. I'd my khyber painted from a normal painter and 4 years on, the paint is just not good enough anymore. It's better to spend a little extra now, it'll be worth it, trust me.

I will try brother to get those snaps and post it here. Though the swap isnt hard but alternations are done. Stock bonnet does not fit so a scoop or hood is made to accommodate the air filter of Vitz Engine.

Scoop aint tht necessary.. just alter the foundations and the engine will be in its place,

1szfe is not a very easy swap it sits very low in charade bay compromising ground clearance
Also being 4 cyl engine one needs custom hand made cvj with it
