write down exactly what help you are looking for, such blanket questions are non-sense.

Bother you do not have to turn red. I did not ask any questions. I have not used this website much, so i did not know how it exactly works . Anyway here are the questions
1) Front suspension
2) Rare diff
3) Brakes
Engine is 3S-GE with J160 gear box. I need to replace the above mention items. I don't want to put back 40 year old parts. Kindly suggest something new or recent i can use and where to find it.

I also need an advice regarding tyre size. I want to use semi slicks with custom rims. I don't want them to be slowly taken to bits by the fender every time i the car. I don't want to use low profiles.
Any suggestions would be of great help.

Sides and front is done. The body work has moved to the interior of the car. Floors and other stuff. I posted a question before but I wanted to build it Into a drift machine at that point in time. I dropped the idea after visiting auto markets of 5 cities and meeting different mechanics. They all said I'll have to alter the car if I turn into a drift machine, which I do not want to do since im in love with classic cars. Want to keep it as strong and original as possible. Will keep this thread updated with pics. Any help would be appreciated

Found a genuine dash in pristine condition. My car needed one, still missing the console. Got complete set of Backlights online for future use , just in case. Replacing the front discs with new ones. Keeping brake drums at the rear. Not a single inch of the body will be altered for anyhug whatsoever. Keeping the whole interior stock as well

After extensive market khuwari I came to the conclusion that 3S beans is the only engine that would fit smoothly in the hood so using that with J160 6 speed forward gearbox. Rust proofing each and every part with POR-15 and black paint

3d printer? In PK? Where?

doc.rayyan (doc.rayyan) 2017-03-25 23:02:47 +0500 #15

In Lahore brother. I'm pretty sure there will be someone in Karachi as well. In Lahore I think 3 companies have em. There is a But though. I actually called em for my dash. They said we don't print such size items but for smaller ones like head covers, AC knobs, AC grills type things , we can make em for you. It's expensive though. They will make a CAD design first, which is an expensive service then they will feed it to the machine to print it.
You can Google it.

Google will give you the address and contact. It's there

I also need some advice regarding the differential. I can't seem to figure out the type of the stock differential. I think it's a live axle with open diff. Should i go for Locked, open or vicious limited diff for this car. Please suggest the appropriate one. It would also help if i knew which one is good and would easily fit. Make or company name would be helpful

Brother quite expensive. First off they don't even print large scale items. I still tried to take a hypothetical estimate. He said CAD design is actually more expensive than the print itself. A car dash sized item CAD designing alone will cost around 50-70k and then the print would cost around 35-40. Quite expensive
