Hello Everyone, I was looking for a budgted automatic vehicle for sometime after surveys and considering available alternatives i choose Daihatsu Coure. Reasons for choosing this vehicle is,
1. Hatchback
2. Parts are readily available
3. Parts are cheap
4. I have personally used coure in the past and i loved it
Now, after choosing coure i went to local scrap yards and looked for the parts i would require to complete my project and to my surprise they were dirt cheap. Started to look for a decent vehicle which falls in my budget (My aim was to build a Automatic reliable daily runner under 4 lacs). So with respect to my budget and then spending on it i started to search for a coure around 3 lacs. I was quoted a vehicle (Coure 2001 M/T) for 350,000, went to inspect it and it seemed okay and after negotiations i bought it for 325,000.
Details of the vehicle :
Model : 2001
Color : Maroon
Transmission: Manual
CNG : Yes
Air Con : Working
In short this vehicle was in perfect running condition, The most amzing thing about this vehicle was it had JDM Mira Power Windows (All 4 doors had power windows), JDM Mira Upholstery, JDM Mira Cluster, JDM Mira wooden trims and JDM Mira Front bumper grill.
Plan: My plan is to
1. First swap Auto Transmission
2. Sort out all mechanical and electrical issues
3. Fix Suspension issues
4. New tires and stock rims and wheel caps.
P.S. This wont be a fancy build with loud exhaust's, customs paint jobs or polio cambers so sorry in advance
