well this is my second charade, the last one had blown turbo, they seem to fall apart every 20,000 miles. got a qoute from the last replacment on this car and they said £250 and my car comes with spare turbo for bits, was getting a custom downpipe made so will have to go pick it up. car is very solid underneath and just really needs a paint job as the laquer is starting to peal in places oh and found the key today which is good the last charade turbo which broke i replaced with a cossie t3 but then blew the engine, prob had sumin to do with huge amounts of boost ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) so i learnt my lesson and now run standard boost in everything. here are a couple o pics o my last wagon, was limited edition high roof model ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/charade3.jpg) ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/charade4.jpg) ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/charade5.jpg) standard turbo ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/T3turbo4-1.jpg) ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/T3turbo4-1.jpg) bigger lol

Pictures are a bit curse word to say the least !!! Any chance of some being taken in a daylight enviroment rather than Hitlers last stand bunker. Surely you don't reasonably expect folk to make a descicion on buying by looking at them. No, I can't just nip down for a look as you are a few hundred miles each way ! So I would appreciate LOTS of pics in good lighting conditions of, bodywork, interior, engine bay and if possible underside. Thanks Steve.

Seeing as you want to break it for bits for an E21 BMW, how much would you want for it with all the aftermarket gauges and the radio setup removed? Unless there's something I've missed.
Also have you found the keys yet? If not presumably there's a discount there.

yeah i found the key it got lost in my smart car, basically the only bits i really need of the car are the front slip over coilover kit and springs and the AFR guage as its mega expensive so will need to find a scrap lambda sensor or sumin to plug hole but thats not a problemo. as for pics i will try and drive it out tomorrow, will have to jumpstart the old girl me thinks. and I'm sorry that the pics are curse word but it was late at night and raining and i couldnt be arsed to get wet and move the car, no need to get stressy about it. as for pick up conversion!!!! yes please feel free to convert to pick up, would be cool! i try and get on here as much as i can but cant access it from work so if you want more info then please email me tom.healey@smartofstevenage.co.uk or the usual austin25uk@hotmail.com, P.S. 7 days till she gets scrapped if no one makes n offer ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

righty ho, jump started the car and took her for a spin today, who needs breaks n e way! lol, well for starters turbo didnt smoke once today which is a good thing i guess. must be getting better. brakes work to a certian extent but started binding on after about 5 mins of driving so need to take master cylinder of and shorten the little bar i made to adapt the polo servo on. this shouldnt be too hard. its either that or who ever picks the car up can disconnect it and drive on the handbrake. which is what i would do. servo is still leaking air which is annoying me so i think i might buy some silocon sealer and have a go with that. this car is so fun and fast I'm almost regretting selling it now so gonna have a proper go at fixing her. well here are the pics as asked for ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/photo-40.jpg) nice outside picture ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/photo-41.jpg) drivers footwell, really solid and car has been waxoild at some point ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/photo-42.jpg) engine shot, please note the nitrous solenoids, they will be removed for my kit, but don't worry the car never had nitrous put on it, never got that far ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/photo-43.jpg) close up of turbo etc ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/photo-44.jpg) stuff ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/photo-45.jpg) nice clean oil ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/photo-47.jpg) roof is in loverly condition, the only small prob is the velcro on the B pillars is starting to peel of car, just needs glueing back down. again i you really want i can do this before you pick the vehicle up ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/photo-48.jpg) sub and stuff, my wiring isnt that bad it just looks tatty cos its all hanging down off the parcel shelf where the masking tape that was holding wires up has lost its stick any more questions please just ask or call me

Why break the car? a cb60 isnt a desirable engine, not nearly as usefull as a cb70/80.
Why not just rip all the 'ICE' out and sell it seperately and reduce the price of this car?
Seems a ghey waste to break a rare little motor.

bout 65bhp as standard but with a bit of extra boost bout 85 i guess, its more the fact that it wieghs less than a mini, and its not registered as a convertible so insurance is cheap lol. as the the removing stereo, that wont really reduce cost of vehicle, my money is tied up in the stainless exhaust, the AFR guage and the front coilover kit. I was hoping someone with a gtti would buy it and drop there engine in it cos would be monsterous!!!!! i can use all the bits eg, the exhaust and the coilovers and the guages in my car, found a buyer for the stereo. so if someone wants to pick up the shell with engine but obviously no front springs then i want £300. just wont be driveable becuase no springs, engine will still run etc. here is a picture of my e21 and its current stage! this is why i need a cash injection! ![](http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q255/austin25uk/photo-8.jpg) ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

you cant souce the front suspension which is why i converted it to the rally deigns weld on coilover kit, which i didnt weld on, the kit costs 100 squid including springs. so the springs can stay providing the car is paid for, will accept £600 if someone rings me tomorrow on 07703739575, everythgin included except my AFR guage. will even deliver vehicle, if i don't have phone call by 4pm tomorrow will break.
