Snowman Mechanic Surprise
A little bit of fun to entertain my wife who works from home and didn't get a snow day. Wait for the surprise at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6w7Vf_Hz64

I had to dig deep to gouge the horrible bonded windscreen out of the Daihatsu Charade. I'll be glad to get back to working on older cars.

Re: New Videos from SpaceKadett restoring a Daihatsu Charade 1L Turbo Diesel
