I was looking for this car since last 3 months and finally got one! The car was with second owner since last 35+ years nd parked for last 4 years because the person was unable to move - Now they needed cash so they sold it nd i didnt negotiate on their demand!
This car has a 2c diesel engine with auto gearAC installed but gas needs refillingAll spring suspension/No leafspring And rest the images will talk
Car seems to be in very good nick. Best of luck with project.
Are those bbs? Look really eye catching even if they aren't,
Day 1 - since the car was parked for last 4 years, it had no brakes! Literally none! So first things first - Got them cleaned and all 4 brakes were bled! There was an issue with front driver side brake calliper as it was leaking the oil onto the disc so mechanic had to alter the rubber washer to make it fit and tadaaa it did work and no leakge - brakes are much better now as car jams in when hit hard
Thanks mate - some areas on body have rust but overall its okay nd it had the best interior i culd find across all mark 2s i saw
Nope they are not - was unable to read the brand at the back due to extreme dusty condition of it but it did say made in japan
Great work. The car is in great condition. I am rebuilding mine as well. Here https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/t/1974-mark-ii-rebuild-and-then-some/582309/56
2C is a very heavy engine, mine has the same. very deadly on the front bearings. Thats what I am trying to figure out these days. Most likely will end up replacing the whole front hub with Hiace ones. Which city are you in?
i am in Islamabad - yes the engine has immense power but driving petrol engines from long time so the noise for me is unbearable. I would be swapping this one by next week with 3SGE-Beams probably from Rawalpindi or Peshawar wherever i find one in better condition with auto transmission
Got hold of a 3S-GE Beams, manual one, pathan was demanding 140k
How much did you pay? Which gear box did it come with? 5 speed or 6?
Na, did not buy it, just asked the rate, did not have that much budget. I think with the engine, rear differential would also need to be replaced, adding further to the cost.
Thats too much - i was in peshawar yesterday and checked shoba bazar - it was available with one guy nd he was asking 100k for 3sge beams blacktop with gear
manual or auto? it would be with auto gear for 100k
Got the steering play adjusted today - the steering oil was zero so got it filled and the screw on right side of hole had to be adjusted to reduce the play since i could turn the steering 90 degrees without any movement of tires before
Expert opinion required - the mechanic said dont go for zero play in steering ad it wuld jam the steering i couple of days due to being too tight and when yu will take u turns it would hit steering box really hard making it weak
Dont make it too tight. It will damage.
Manual!
Coming up - Got it for 85k with auto gear - complete engine with power pump, Ac compressor nd uncut wiring!
That's nice, from where did you get the engine? Pindi?
Lahore - Bilal Gunj!
that's very nice..... how many engines he had ? and what other options of engine you looked for?
He had 2 3sge beams - only 1 was with gear that i have booked1G beams i have also looked into but it's a heavier and bigger engine
