Junkyard Triple Hit Combo

I visited three junkyards in Jakarta last weekend and ALL OF THEM got scrapped Charmants. One got better scraps than the other but nonetheless that's certainly a good news for you Charmant lovers in Jakarta. If you want to restore your Charmant, there's no way you can avoid not visiting junkyards and these pics should be able to help you spot if they have the stuff you need.

First is the one in Parung area. Here's what i found there.

I salvaged these from the one above. These are mouldings above and below the rear license plate, a pair of ventilation thingy located behind the rear doors and a console pocket.

Next stop is the one at TB Simatupang road. Three scraps were there as you can see from the pics below. The green one, trust me, was also a Charmant before the owner sell its soul to Satan and turn it to the puke-worthy creature you see on the pics.


Last stop is the one close to Taman Mini. This is my favorite junkyard now, one seller has a good stock of Charmant parts. Some parts were still attached to the scrap but most of them were already in his storage area.

I'll be visiting these junkyards again soon so if any of you see something you like, just tell me and i'll see if i can help you get it.

  4. Charmant and DX wing mirror look almost the same but it's the differences that prevent you from fitting DX mirror to Charmant. The main things you need to modify in order to fit DX mirror is the spacing of the mounting bolt (which should be easy, just drill new holes on your door following the new spacing) and the dimension of the triangle plastic attached to the door where DX has slightly bigger size.

    are you from Indonesia? It's ok to use Bahasa Indonesia if that is easier for you :)
