1989 Suzuki Swift Restoration

[hayat.yawar26]

Assalam o Alaikum everyone,

I am starting this thread to take your guidance regarding the Restoration of my father's 1989 Suzuki Swift. I want to restore the car as much as possible. This car will be a present to my Father. I am aiming to make the car in showroom like condition with all the body, mechanical, and electrical work. As my father has medical issues, he will not be able to drive a manual car without power steering, hence, I am looking for suggestions and your expertise in this area as well.

Please find the attached pictures for your reference and advise if it is even worth to spend money, time and effort on this car.
I am from Karachi from F.B Area (near Liaquat Chowk), so any personal help or contacts would be highly appreciated.

Suzuki Khyber 1989 Restoration

Greetings brothers and sister. My family has owned khyber since 2011 and bought it from first owner. It is since been a "daily driver" for our family. We were unable to drive it on regular basis for the past year or two because of its routinely wiring failure and rust accumulation in body panels. Moreover, it was consuming some engine oil so, engine rebuild was also due. We finally decided to restore it. Our project khyber has now started...

Restoring my suzuki khyber 1992 model

Hello All, I'm Hassan, a slient member on pakwheels for a long time. I purchased a suzki khyber almost a year back. It was my first car so just fell in love with it. But after sometime passed i realized some rust in the body that alarmed me, so i started thinking of restoring it. Almost 3 months back i contacted a workshop owner (with some reference) who provides denting/painting/mechanical services. So i decided an initial amount with them and left my car at their workshop. The work started…

AOA. I went through the threads you suggested. I could have spent more around 3-4 lacs as well, however, the hassle of finding the right parts and everything is just too much for me to tackle at this point as I work and have my own side business as well.

Thank you for your response, I guess its better to buy a new car altogether.

Best.
Yawar.
