Hooray.. Another Scrapped Charmant!

One thing about Daihatsu Charmants is that scrapped ones are scarce. It's not easy finding its cousin, the KE70, but finding a Charmant in a junkyard is much harder. It's like trying to find a condom in a church! So far i've only managed to find one and it's already missing some stuff i need. So i kept searching.. and searching.. until one day.. there she was..
Finally.. another scrapped Charmant! Not much can be said about the body condition other than rusts and dents everywhere but lookie lookie here..
Roof water channel chrome strips! The Dog has been screaming for these and now she can calm down now that i found them. The condition's not perfect but at least now i got it. This Charmant was being stripped down by the owner when i saw it. It would be easier for anyone to pickup the parts they need now that it's already dismantled.
Daihatsu Charmant uses T50 gearbox, a very famous gearbox amongst Toyota fans. Usually it's used for KE70 engine conversion. That's why it's only a matter of time until this gearbox is sold. It's not often you get to see a scrapped Charmant still has its gearbox.
As for the engine, the 4A-C sometimes get its cylinder head swapped with a 4A-GE. Being in the same A series engine, i think not much needs to be done to fit the head.
More pics from the scrapped Charmant..

Need Charmant parts? Most probably this one still have them. It was still complete when i saw it. I already took some stuff for The Dog but most stuff are still there.
