Project Suzuki Margalla

get the radiator replaces as well as all rubber pipes, and radiator cap if required. everything has been refreshed and you can still spend some bucks, so get an ac job done irrespective if its winter coming or not. it would be a good time to have ac installed because the ac walas will be free now a days and they will do a good satisfactory job.

by the way, take the car out to some open space and get some nice shiny pics at evening or early morning time. your pics are ruining the looks of the car.

[nnabeel]

Some points

adjust the rear door gap
adjust the front left fender / bonnett gap
the radiator pipe going into the bottle is pinched beneath the ac pipe, the holder that holds the ac pipe is missing
why tie clips are used on the front in engine room
the back screen rubber seals are worn out, get them filled with silicon or replace them
adjust the diggi gaps
old logos with rivet holes are pasted, please reuse them
speaker board needs to be re done
please remove plastics from seats and door cards once all work is done
rims center caps are required on alloy wheels

there are two holes encircled on both sides near the wiper tray area. these are metal hinges that stops the bonnette in case of hitting from front. those are missing, please check if u have them or ur dentar.

@nnabeel thanks for the detailed reply, i had my eye on these panel gaps, but The city had a lot of construction happening at the denters place, today I made a visit there and they literally had malba in their shop, that's why we brought our car back to the house in a hurry. but no worries I'll definitely get them adjusted.

Cables ties I guess hold the ac fans wire. I actually don't know what it's holding

About the centre cap, Can't find the centre caps for the wheels I searched the water Pump market for them, but no one had them, suggest a place where I could find them in Karachi central.

About the radiator: will probably get a new radiator, btw can anyone suggest a good AC shop in Karachi central, so i could get a quote?

old logos with rivet holes are pasted, please reuse them

do you mean I should rivet them back?

Will get a speaker board when i get some speakers in it.

Will surely take the car to nice place , probably on a overcast day , than will take pics.

metal hinges that stops the bonnette in case of hitting from front. those are missing

can i get a pic of those , never saw them.

you can read about Sabir ac wala on pakwheels forum. i have tried it many times, and had given good service. actually he denies doing work on cars older than 2000 model because when he give estimates, ppl fly away. but if u agree he does good. he sits near farooq e azam masjid near 5 star chowrangi.

as for the logos, get new ones similar to the original onces from Monogram house magazine lane.

i guess the tie clips hold he bonett opening cable.
the centre caps can be bought from any alloy wheels wala shops from guru mandir, or from gharibabad.

as for the encircled parts near wiper tray check the image from local cultus. it should be there in margalla or maybe not.

[hassankhan03]

This sabir AC wala is the guy who is related to Xulfiqar bhai?

[drazahussain]

I also need to revamp my Corolla 2010.. the color is fading away.. there is some rust here and there.. is your denter shop reliable enough.. I can't stand there all today..need to give them keys and take it back after a week or so..

[Xulfiqar]

Get a quote from a toyota showroom for this job. Or some business like yazdani motors (if they are in business) if you want a one window solution job of handing keys and exchanging money only)

[nnabeel]

he is not related to him, but is recommended by most pakwheelers.

[hassankhan03]

, I wouldn’t suggest you to go there , theyvare reliable people but , as I mentioned before , there’s alot of construction happening at their place , you can give them a call and ask ..

[nfsmostwanted]

Any better pictures?
Any new updates?

[hassankhan03]

sadly nope, been really busy with the university, car's standing nowadays, drove it like 100km and temps look ok now, just got it tuned as it had terrible missing all of a sudden.

[nfsmostwanted]

How’s your car doing?

[hassankhan03]

@nfsmostwanted thanks for your concern, cars doing great, drove only 150km in 20 days after the restoration, it shows how less i drive my car. but car temps remain ok, but will get all the mechanical stuff done the next month until now random interior stuff is annoying like door latches malfunctioning, etc, but nothing major alhamdulillah.

[nfsmostwanted]

Hassan what are the updates?
No pictures?

[hassankhan03]

@nfsmostwanted bro have been really busy with study , ain’t getting any chance to pay attention towards ma car.
But here’s a night shot for you

Car’s been running great apart from little annoying stuff . Enjoying it alot whenever i drive it. Apart from some mechanical stuff everything’s great, don’t have time ir money rn to figure that out .

Update 19-11-2022

Upon @nfsmostwanted Bhai’s shadeed request gave it a little wash and tried to take some pics hopefully they are good, if you like em plz say Mashallah, and I know some things are still missing specially wheel cups.

[nfsmostwanted]

MaShaaAllah

Looking super nice , keep it maintained 🏻

[nnabeel]

looking clean masha allah.

just 2 cents.

the height from rear needs to be adjusted.
the front wheel is misaligned. get to aligned.

[hassankhan03]

@nnabeel yes car needs alignment, and rude height might be looking iff as its standing on a slope , but will take it to a alignment shop and will get it tested.

changed the name of the thread as it's now a post-Restoration thread now.
