Turning the key and seeing what happens with the little turbo Daihatsu Mira

Battery is now charged up. Going to see what happens when the engine is cranked over.
Bit of good and bad news
Can this iconic car be saved

KZbin recommended this channel. Pretty nice. Can't wait to see more of it. It seems like the only problem is the fuel pump, which is very cheap. You could also fill the tank with rust remover soak and rotate the tank every few hours for a whole day to make sure all rust has been disolved. After that, you could give the whole thing a coat of fuel tank sealer. One more thing that should probably be cleaned before running the fuel pump would be the fuel lines, because looking at the pump itself, they are most likely filled with goop and rust particles.

Thanks for the comment. I will be posting a new video every 2days.

I really like this kind of content and Japan is probably one of the best places you can be to pick up modern classics in good condition not to mention it being such a beautiful country to live in. Really looking forward to following the progress of this project.

[@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan]

Thanks for the comment. Yes I also believe there are some decent modern classics left in Japan, Although as in many countries the prices have gone up

@@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan Grey imports of second hand cars have long been sought after here in Hong Kong as the Japanese keep their cars in such good condition. Not sure if there are still bargains to be had after the local dealers have added their mark-up but personal imports are probably still worthwhile if you don't mind doing all the paperwork etc.

WATCHING FROM MALAYSIA BORNEO

[@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan]

Thanks for watching. I'm always interested in where you guys are watching from.

Subscribed from Nagaland, India, hoping you'll do a complete restoration. I love pre 2000 cars. BTW, I don't think you should put music to your videos, just your voice and the sound of your tools is enough. Also, longer videos will be much appreciated.

[@daveshongkongchinachannel]

I had the same thought even before reading your comment. First time to watch a video on this channel and it seems nicely done and pleasing to watch. The music is just an annoyance.

[@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan]

I've tried to tone down the music a bit on the latest videos. Any better or shall I remove the music completely? Thank you all for the input as I'm very new to this making video's thing and would like it if you enjoy watching as much as I enjoy fixing.

[@daveshongkongchinachannel]

@@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan I did notice the music seemed to be less obtrusive in more recent videos but personally I could live without it altogether, at least in the car videos. But that’s just me. It won’t stop me from coming back to watch whatever you eventually go with.

[@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan]

@@daveshongkongchinachannel Thanks for the comment,Always appreciated. I'll try a future video with no music just to see what happens.

[@daveshongkongchinachannel]

@@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan As long as you don’t hold it against me if all your subscribers leave! Well, not all of them, I’ll still be here!
