Nissan Sunny B12, full restoration

[bazal.nasir]

Well I will be sharing a complete breakdown of cost once everything is done, for now enjoy the ride alongside!

[bazal.nasir]

Thank you, these appreciations are well needed to keep oneself motivated.

Trust me bhai, you must have known better though, these "ustads" make you cry out loud. No seriously, insa kam lena is like pesa de kar zaleel hona.
I have been getting a lot of work done for my former cars lekin shaid this time around its a lot more work, whatever it is, I can bet my boots on these guys being the most unprofessional, inefficient and stubborn (of course being liers and theirs) among the existing.

Han exceptions are there magar mera to bhai jitna bhi tajarba raha bohat hi hura. Its very rare that you can find atleast a honest person and being honest doesn't mean he's good at what he's doing too!

to make these ustaads works, as per my experience, u need to have ur own plan and which shall never be revealed to them, just tell them to finish the task as per ur plan and after its done give them another task..

[nnabeel]

Bhai mechanical work should be done first so that after paint the car doesnt gets damaged or gets dirty by the clean hands of mechanics.

[nnabeel]

You are right.....its the hardest job to get these goons to work properly. They never do it on time and always keep lying....thats the reason they dont grow and remain always a small business.

Anyways, i have marked my few cents in the pictures. these are the areas which are neglected by your dentar and the painter. I think both are the same guys who did the body work and the paint work so didnt bother to correct the issues.

Even the fender shield has not been removed to get the wheel arches treated with paint. the lines are not straight. At the moment its is shining but it will reveal itslef after a few days. The right side backlight frame is even not straighten out and the new back bumper has a dinge on the left side.

If you zoom the pics in ms paint you can easily see what i am talking about. a good painter can still correct it

Truly agreed though for that you need to be on their head ALL DAY LONG. Zara sa idhar hua nhi ka ustad g ko roti ya namaz yad aa jati

[bazal.nasir]

Nabeel bhai there isn't much mechanical work to be done. Electrical work has been completed, suspension work is undercarriage and engine ma kuch khas ha nhi just some tuning and stuff.

[bazal.nasir]

Really appreciate your concern though I'm well aware of much of these issues. Painter isn't the same as Denter. Is Denter na kasam sa zaleel kar dia!

Lemme explain:
1.the rear right side had a hit so the corner isn't in its best shape
2. Rear right light isn't secured well coz nut isn't screwed in right wo ho jayga IA
3. Bumper ding is actually molding issue in plastic, can't be dealt with!
4. Front bumper gaps are actually as per factory configuration, there's a slight gap in the body and the bumper since its designed to look like this, see the fender flare end and bumper, they are aligned well. I've Google many b12s and all look the same.
5. The side skirts were actually rusted and welded on new and this ahole Denter outsourced the job to some junior guys for it, result "19 20 to hota ha!"

[omersiddiqui5482]

Bhai baat yeh hai ke aap ne paise dete waqt 19 20 nahi kiya to kaam mein 19 20 kyun...

Rather nice effort...

[shiekh123]

absolutely right. It's really hard to get work done on time from them.

[bazal.nasir]

Exactly! Lekin ya bat inko kon samjhay, ustad na keh dia to bas fatwa ho gya. Opportunity cost of spending all day at workshop is a LOT more then these minor discrepancies.
Koi nhi, seekhna ko bohat mila so ya khair ha!

[xenerking]

apne sab sahi kaha...laikin opportunity cost theek se calculatue nahi ki...

1 or 2 day khawari in workshop is NO WAY equal to in correct penal alignment of car which will stay like this forever unless corrected!!

and if it is like that, then i wud say all this repaint n restoration is pointless!! u know wat i mean

[bazal.nasir]

Truly agreed, bas g I really need to windup this project now. Have been annoyingly frustrated for past 3 weeks.

🤞🏼 Many issues have been resolved today.

[vickytulla]

Indeed true... I am struggling to find good mechnic and a denter in nearby to bahria town (lahore) who can be worthy to work on my cars.
So far i have only found hathora mechnics all around.

I do not have time to stand on there head and monitor what they are doing so what happened so far is when ever I gave my car to mechnic they screwed it even more..

I am worried k jab gari nay wakaye he kaam nikala tu I will be dead..

Got all the wirings streamlined and the battery bracket replaced.
Was super busy past few days so will post all updates today

[bazal.nasir]

New carpet, repaired seats and door cards installed.
So the carpet ustad suggested no foam under molded areas like gear lever walls and rear sub section hump magar uska bahar carpet roams around free and looks more like a kapra so I forced em to do so. Anyways interior is almost done with.

[abdulmunimqadri]

Great going, btw @nnabeel already marked the imperfections and I was super busy myself so didn't get the proper time to read the thread, I'm happy with the progress so far but just keep in mind that all these ustads have the skill to save their time and waste your money, so if they're asking you to save up some cost on anything, they're basically saving themselves from more work. Inko tight rakh kar kaam karwao.
P.S: This was appearing in my news feed on facebook, looks SICK!

[bazal.nasir]

Hanjii!
Got all four shock absorbers, rear break drums, front disks and all control arms removed.
All 4 break leathers replaced and drums/disks turned. 1 control arm and outer cv joint got replaced with new ones.
Rear springs also replaced.
Unfortunately the car had shock absorbers from some vitz, although these are much softer in ride but slightly higher.
Mechanic suggested getting new set of wheels and tyres before we look into dropping the height any further.

[bazal.nasir]

This thing is magar yar it's a b13 which already is aesthetically a lot more pronounced and has a wider form factor.

[abdulmunimqadri]

masha'Allah, the car is finally getting back in shape.
What about the wheels? Did you decide anything?
