Get it cleaned and painted from inside. the painters who do bike tanks can help in painting from inside as they have specific paints for petrol tanks.
MECHANICAL - GEARBOXThe gearbox had issues, used to make a weird noise while shifting and the 3rd and 5th gears made you shift twice to get in, turned out that the SYNCHROS had to be replaced, so the gearbox was off for the required repairs
MECHANICAL - REAR SUSPENSIONThe rear suspension was a complete disaster after we started disassembling it. Take a look at the rear wheel bearings/hubs
The upper control arms, that couldn't control themselves from rusting to death
The condition of the rear shocks gave me a shock after taking a look at their condition. The shocks had a leakage, the mounts were broken and one of the shocks had a crack on the top. No wonder how was the previous owner even driving the car
MECHANICAL - REAR SUSPENSIONOld bushes out
New bushes in
Any update bro?
There are tons of updates, will be posting them later today
MECHANICAL - ENGINELike I mentioned in the 1st post of this thread, the engine required OVERHAULINGIn case you guys are wondering why I didn't go for a swap, the reasons are. The original assembly from a KABLI Margalla is being sold for 150-180k. The other options will cost a fortune as well in case I decide to swap a Honda D series or L series . This specific engine could still bear the overhauling and it'd cost a fraction of the options mentioned above, so?
LET'S HIT THE WORKSHOP AND GET THAT MOTOR OVERHAULED!
PISTONS
CYLINDER HEAD
MECHANICAL - REAR SUSPENSIONFinally got all the parts to renew the rear suspension and it's time to get them fitted!
UPPER CONTROL ARMSBought a set of these chimtay with their original mountings and bushes.
REAR WHEEL HUBSI bought a set but forgot to take a shot of both of them, isliye is ek se kaam chala lein
REAR SHOCKS
MECHANICAL - REAR SUSPENSIONSo, time to fit everything in. Btw I bought a set of rear brake shoes as well, ab jab khul hi gaya hai sab kuch, to sab kuch hi badal dena chahiye.
