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

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

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

Thanks for the informative reply John about the Smart engines. Hey, I came to restoration from learning to keep old Kadett's going, racing around fields as a kid. I've paid my penance now restoring more of these cars than I wrecked, and have even had parts off some of those wrecks to help recent pro...
