Sunrise Festiva!

[Advancedynamix]

Got a write up on your charade bumper at all ?
what year and model charade is it off ?

Soon. I just set up my photo bucket last week. Lots of write ups to come. I gave those who went to the fm5 after party a real close look.
I think the charade was a non US car because I have seen 2 charades since and they had a totally different bumper.

Well, there is a charade hatchback (3 cylinder) that has a bumper that is very easy to bolt up to the festiva. It doesn't offer much more room, but looks better imho and provides better ventilation to the engine compartment and radiator (important here in Phoenix). I like it because, to me, it looks like an RS style bumper that may have been used if Ford had built an RS festiva. Can you check and see if you can order charade bumper covers there? I would love to have some brand new ones.

It's kinda off topic, but I "Daihatsu Charaded" Ebay and found they had a 3 cyl. diesel in 1984:

You can get pics of the later model Charades on Ebay if you haven't seen what they look like.

Not a bad front end, though I agree with Charlie's sentiment (IIRC) at FM5 that the rear end was rather strange looking.

Yes, very off topic, but a neat fact. Lol. Imagine the mileage that car gets! When I was walking through the playground (salvage yard) I thought it was a festy at first, then I saw the back end. The sedan isn't as bad, and they came with a nice 16v 4 banger.

You need to make room for one first! I'll take a justy off your hands! Lol

So your wanting what yr model charade bumpers , i think the 93's are close but the older ones by eye look like a better fit.
