Hey, I’m short of budget and looking to get an Cultus 2000-2003 model and convert it into an automatic while also restoring it to 2012-2017. I need an estimate (I know it varies alot but still need an estimate that it make take this much time and cost). Is this the right approach? Because in my mind since im going to restore it and convert it into an automatic, im looking to get the cheapest, oldest manufactured possible cultus for this project. Kindly do give me an insight regarding this. I know people will suggest to just save some money and buy a old but good condition cultus but I really want to work on a project car that will last me around 3-4 years or even more. I have the time aswell the budget to do so (for project car) So far I’ve set my mind on 1300cc vitz automatic engine conversion and 2017 restoration. Im pretty new to building a project car and looking forward to be on this journey. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Btw im in Pindi/Islamabad. So suggestions regarding denting/painting complete and conversion known and proven mechanics in this area will also be appreciated.
