I love this car... the Ronal Turbos looks great on there, i'd be interested to see what the new wheels look like with tyres on and at the ride height. Very fond memories of ripping round a field in my friends Charade.. first car I ever drove was that When I first read this topic and looked at the pictures I didn't think modding a Charade was going to work at all... but boy was I wrong! Those pictures on the 3rd page are great, I really like this car!

Looking great.. working outside is fun isn't it? That interior is fantastic, looks like a great living room! My 2p is keep the badge brown and paint the grille body colour.

Hmmm.. any chance of a pic of the problem area? Just want to see what kinda access you can get it. Although if it is like you describe, I guess drilling it off would be your best option. Be careful about drilling to fast as well, it will get pretty hot and may melt the plastic of the winder. Maybe take a 5 min break every so often to let it cool down?

I voted gooold because I think it'll look yummy next to the white and go slightly with the interior

Read the whole thread the other day - awesome! Love the shape of these cortinas, and a V8 seems so very right somehow ;D

Fair play, there's some serious attention to detail going on here! The front apron and bonnet look much nicer cleaned up and sprayed and it's starting to look brand new now. Going to be such a great minty fresh car!

That is bad ass!! Really like it with the single lights, are you planning to do a custom grille or just run without one? Think I agree about loosing the stickers, but it's your car Also, maybe a bit more rake, a wee drop at the front maybe? Very very cool though!

I like this alot! Rear end looks great without the badges My vote for the grilles is the black one you customised, although my personal opinion is ditch the GL badge on the front and get one of those prancing moose Volvo logos and stick it on the black square in the middle. Or maybe cut out the black square if it's possible?

Wow! I'd never think there would be so much weight that could be stripped out, lots of wires too. Does the car have air con? Ripping that out could save alot of weight too. Superb idea too, looking forward to the outcome

Meh. Floors are over-rated It's a shame, but it can hopefully live on and save others!

Yeah, if you look at the front and the back, they don't really seem to match maybe? Hard to tell what would improve it though. Thanks for the info ScaryOldCortina, i'm thinking it would look quite cool with that front on, could end up being a real headache though!

p.s. love the black slammed photoshop - now go build it! Thanks I would, if it wasn't for a few good reasons 1) I'm only allowed one sh*tter car on the drive at once 2) I'm a poor student, could buy the car ok, but never justify spending that much on air / juice goodies, or prolly the wheels! 3) The insurance man would bend me over the table and do unspeakable things to me! I can still dream on though... one day!

Just found another pic of the above one: Kinda cool really, quite like Thomas' idea of a VIP one too. Unfortunately this dream is unlikey to come true for a good few years, I have a feeling insurance would be a killer on one of these babies. Maybe they'll be retro by the time i'm old enough?
