So as some of you may know i’ve been dailying my 1997 charade 1.3 tr for a while now. The car has always treated me very well and ive never had a prohlem with it, it has been a perfect daily for me!
A few weeks back tho, while browsing the marketplace, something grabbed my attention.
I had been looking for an applause a101 for quite some time, but nothing nice ever showed up, especialy not for a decent price.
When this gem popped up for sale i just knew i had to go and take a look, so i met up with the guy that very evening and took a test drive. The car drove perfectly well.
2 weeks later i went to go and pick it up. The seller had it re-inspected so it had a fresh MOT on it when i picked it up.
It drives perfectly fine. Its quite a quick car considering what it is aswell. Im really gonna enjoy my time with it. Sadly i did uncover some very well hidden rust a week after the purchase, but i guess thats just what you get for loving old japanese shitboxxes 
As for the charade, it got sold to a friend of mine, and it will also be getting a 1.6 engine, so im looking forward to doing that swap aswell.
its gonna be like cars in Flinstones and also mess with the alingment on the rear wheel. front mounting point (your last photo) under that spot is way difficult to fix if it gets toasted
