AOA Pakwheelers , I Have decided to start the restoration of Beloved Margalla, It's a '97 Model, Margalla plus with Ash grey colour and I think it's in its original paint, despite some cheap af repairs by the previous owners. my family used it for the past 9 years, the car was neglected and got a lot of rust. The car was always used in Karachi, also we live near a Sewer, so our stuff gets a lot of rust, even our AC Units get destroyed by the rust in about 5 years. the cherry on the top is the previous owner used to transport salt and water bottles in it. which also caused a lot of rust.
Current state of The Car:
The Car has the stock G13BA Engine which was overhauled with Japanese Parts at the start of January 2021, And the engine's in pretty good shape, apart from the fact that the car has a direct fan and no thermostat also the water pump is making weird noises. So little mechanical work is required but will tackle it later.
The Car's Wiring is a mess with jugaaroo mechanics doing their manjan with relays in every possible thing and directing everything. so will require some work in that area.
The car's suspension is in OK condition, as it was overhauled a year ago, but the car needs some rear springs.
Update# 18-8-2022
The Car was dropped at the denter today, and he'll start stripping the car and start the denting process, by the way, if anyone wants to swing by and say hi, I'll be really happy (hopefully no chor Daku is reading this thread
just ask before coming) The Workshop is Mumtaz Autos in Bufferzone ,
Anyways here the Pics the car feels more like a cricket tape ball than a car .
I would Love if everyone could give their input on this project. especially Senior Pakwheel members.
