KIA Classic Restortaion 2026

Bringing Grandfather's Legacy Back to Life (Day 1)
Today marks the beginning of a journey that is about much more than restoring a classic car. It is the start of bringing my grandfather's cherished automobile back to life a vehicle that carries decades of memories, family stories, and history.Every scratch, every worn-out part, and every faded detail tells a story of the roads it once traveled and the people it brought together. Rather than letting time erase its legacy, we have decided to restore it with care, patience, and respect for its original character.The restoration officially began today. The first step was assessing the car's overall condition and planning the work that lies ahead. This project will require dedication, craftsmanship, and attention to detail, but the goal is clear: to preserve a piece of our family's heritage for future generations.This blog will document every stage of the restoration

Uploading... Uploading... Uploading... Uploading... Uploading... Uploading... Uploading... from dismantling and repairs to sourcing original parts, repainting, reassembly, and finally seeing the car return to the road where it belongs.Join me as I share this incredible journey of preserving not just a classic automobile, but a treasured family legacy.

Gari jis tarah jis tarah khul rahi hai , us tarah andaza ho raha hai k isko nahi kholna chahye tha ..bht hopless condition nikli hai andarr se

[UsmanAftab]

Parts are extremely difficult to find and rust has taken over. still fingers crossed.. hopes high.. lets see.. ALLAH kary kuch acha ho jaye

I was thinking the same when I saw this project. Sourcing the parts, and fixing rust and cracks are going to be the biggest obstacles.

These kia classics were prone to rust and these pictures are evident of the condition.
i suggest to get complete doors, fenders, side panels, bonette and diggi from parts markets instead of getting this welded altogether.

its a big task and it will cost too much and still it will not be in good shape after all the welding and putting pieces.

Car is in Faisalabad and parts karachi se source karny par rahy . abhi ishq k imtahan aur bhi hain

bhai, while you have striped the car and the rusting is everywhere, take out the front and back screens along with the quarter glass because there will be 110% rust hidden behind it and it will start rusting when all your car work is complete.

so dont ignore any part. strip the paint on floor and body, weld were required, use rust convertor also after that.

point well taken.. lekin ustaad jee aik aur masla bhi hai,, isky goly (plastic strips) nikaalty huye bhi toot jaany hain lekin chalien dekhty kiya nikalta

Make sure the panel guy gives his all. Lots of structural damage in the photos. Don't skimp on the body primer and anti rust coatings that you'll do.

This project will take a lot of your time and resources as parts are hard to find and even if you find them the price will be touching the sky

Best of Luck mate!
