@All
Thanks for comments

@IKJ
Orginal engines are not easy to find, lets hope for best.

@Voyager
Thanks for suggestions. Plan is to keep it as stock as possible.

@ahsanmq
Denting & painting would be around 15000/-

@nascar
Estimated that total spending would be 80,000.
Lets see if original engine could be found some where.
Original suspension and drive train.
No plan to sell.

Hi, please do not change the original tail lights they are waterproof. a lot of original parts of your jeep are available in pindi you must explore that. secondly if the tokens are short you must show the jeep before restoration to the authorities to wave off the tokens.take care
