Built Not Bought S4 - Suzuki Margalla/ Swift MK2/ Esteem/ Swift 16V/ Geo Metro

[abdulmunimqadri]

Asalam o Alaikum, pakwheelers!
Hope y'all are doing great, I'm already working on a Suzuki but then again, I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF BUYING MORE AND MORE PROJECT CARS!
YES, ANOTHER PROJECT CAR OR MAY I SAY, ANOTHER SUZUKI?
This time, I got my hands on a SUZUKI SWIFT MK2 SEDAN 16V, locally known as SUZUKI MARGALLA
Just like Suzuki Swift MK1, the MK2 was also sold internationally with different names, this generation came in production in 1988 with different body selections which included a 3 DOOR HATCH, 5 DOOR HATCH, A CABRIOLET and a SEDAN

The names this car was sold internationally included SUZUKI SWIFT, SUZUKI ESTEEM, SUZUKI CULTUS (hatchback), MARUTI ESTEEM, GEO METRO, CHEVROLET SPRINT, and CHANGAN SWIFT,

The car was globally launched in 1990 and remained in production until 1995 whereas in Pakistan, it was sold as Suzuki Margalla until 1998 when finally Baleno replaced it.

The car I will be working on is a Suzuki Margalla, the pre-facelift version!

SPECS?
, ORIGINAL G13A
. A WORKING AC
. A WORKING SPEEDOMETER
. A CHINESE PRE THAT IS FITTED UPSIDE DOWN

WORK REQUIRED?
. COMPLETE ENGINE OVERHAUL
. COMPLETE BODY RESTORATION

I'm posting some pictures of the car I clicked yesterday before handing it over to the workshop

P.S; DON'T WORRY, I'M WORKING IN KHYBER AS WELL AND THERE'S ANOTHER SURPRISE TOO

DON'T KNOW ME YET? CHECK OUT SOME OF MY PROJECTS THAT I DOCUMENTED HERE!

DAIHATSU CHARADE 1989 - CB100

The Rebuild - Daihatsu Charade CB100

Asalam o Alaikum fellow Pakwheelers I'm starting this thread on behalf of my brother @ranahamza89 who is going to be rebuilding his Daihatsu Charade CB100 1989 from scratch. The car's condition is all rusty and rough, running on Toyota 1KR FE (Vitz 1000cc) The interior requires a lot of work as well, the pictures will be enough to tell, but things will start getting better with time and we both have decided not to rush it. We both have been planning on getting the car done but since both of u…

MAZDA RX8

Bringing my RX back to life - Mazda RX8 1JZ VVTi

Asalam o alaikum everyone. Months ago, I got my hands on a Mazda RX8 2005. The car was swapped with a 2JZGTE by the previous owner but I bought the car without any engine under the hood. It was parked in a plot for months and the owner wasn't willing to sell it but after 2 months of procrastination, I finally got my hands on it. The car was and still is in a pretty bad condition, the last owner had the car showered in matte blue, then matte pink and currently the car is showered in matte yellow …

Salam everyone! I hope everyone's doing well, my Mazda RX8 is finally home & now? It was finally time for myself to get another car to play with, after throwing in money for those huge bills on the RX8, I was looking to get an affordable, yet a different project, I honestly was thinking of getting a Suzuki Swift MK1 (2 door) for myself but as I was going through my routine pakwheels surfing, I came across an ad that blew my mind & I actually made a blind deal, here she is! The Honda Accord 3G it…

BMW 540i E39

Built Not Bought 2.0 - BMW E39 540i M62 4.4L V8

Asalam o Alaikum, fellow pakwheelers! Hope you all are doing great, this is going to be my 5th project that I'll be documenting on pakwheels but 11th in general. I was in search of the perfect budget V8 that I could use on a daily basis and maintaining it wouldn't be a pain in the ass. A car that I can drive everyday but enjoy on weekends. This is our 8th german but this E39 holds a special place in my heart as this is the first BMW that I bought from my own earnings. Coming to the specs, let's …

SUZUKI KHYBER

Built Not Bought S3 - Suzuki Khyber/Swift MK1/Chevrolet Sprint

Asalam o Alaikum, Pakwheelers! Keeping the project cars streak alive since 2016, I'm back with another interesting, fun yet AFFORDABLE project. The legendary Suzuki Khyber a.k.a Suzuki Swift MK1 a.k.a Holden Barina a.k.a Chevrolet Sprint a.k.a Pontiac Firefly. Introduced as Suzuki Swift globally in 1983 at the 25th Tokyo Motor Show, this generation was around for over a decade and was sold under different badges thanks to the alliance between Suzuki and GM. I've always wanted a 2 door CLUB CULT…

Now wish me luck and STAY TUNED FOR ANOTHER DOPE BUILD! 🏻

Inspected the car and this is the condition of the car underneath. Cracks, rust and corrosion which will obviously be treated after installing the new pieces.

Margalla has been a personal favorite.

Following the thread.

Look for margalla Plus bumpers and interior that looks way prettier.

[abdulmunimqadri]

The bumpers are going to be a surprise, sir

[abdulmunimqadri]

The denter started the work by stripping the rear quarter panel first, will be using paint remover throughout to speed up the process.

[abdulmunimqadri]

Hate these holes

[chinyoti]

Chalo behtreen, looking forward best of luck

[abdulmunimqadri]

Rear right door was stripped as well.

[disisfifty]

he denter started the work by stripping the rear quarter pan

good luck, it was 93 or 94, my dad bought a brand new margalla and i loved it. although suggested by another member to get a margalla plus interior and i guess it was like the one which came in cultus later on, i would like to suggest to stick with the original one as this looks era correct and complements the car. we are all looing forward to enjoy the built with you. P.S. also post developments on swift, i check the thread daily for updates. God Speed.

[nnabeel]

Wow.......congrats on starting a new project and a new thread.
Wish u good luck and keep us posted with the latest updates.

i know it will be different car altogether when completed.
Floor pans can be used of khyber if in case margalla pans are not available.

loads of rust in the undercarriage which needs to be treated. make sure to ask your dentar to make a sway bar for holding and making the MUKKIS strong underneath.

[chinyoti]
