Logistics of a KE70 Project

[mohammed56fazal58]

So I'm thinking of starting a KE70 project, using a car similar to this (its a 2 door coupe in my case):

I need plan this project properly and need information on the following things:
- Availability of bodykits/aftermarket panels (Since the entire outside of the car has been rusted over)
- Availability of internal parts and such.
- Additionally I might need someone in the mechanical know-how...
- Can you rent a mechanical garage complete with an auto lift?

Used to own a KE70 sedan with the 4K engine. Mechanical and cosmetic parts for the vehicle are now almost non-existent in Pakistan. Even if they are available, you would have to search scrap yards extensively. Else import parts from Thailand or Taiwan. Project would proceed at a slow speed and would need considerable finances as parts from abroad would be a little pricey.

Peshawar has alot of support for this car.

Most body panels would be avaliable, other would have to be fabricated. It's not simple impossible or a harsh project.

Till date you can easily find new stuff for this car aswell. You just need to look at the right place. Plaza karachi has some shops that have body parts even decoration accessories for this KE70 models.

Alot of beginner drifters have messed up these cars and is still a favorite among beginners.

This is a picture of fresh factory spec restored car i saw in 2023, which is beautifully done. Obviously costs of restoration dont justify the price. But it's worth it.
