@xenerking You Got that wrong bro.

[nfsmostwanted]

Well Floors and chassis are integral parts for strength of vehicle , you’re cutting the cost from wrong place

Can't find the Margalla plus' bumper anywhere , and if i find one it's going for 9000 a piece , guess Now have to rescue the old bumper or use that 94' model Bumper that everyone is selling, Need suggestions again if i can find i anywhere?

About the Car:

New Floor piece was installed and the Floors are complete with Outer sills installed too.

Front Fender's turned out to be repainted with little amount of Filler over them(thank god)

Rear Quater panels were also painted before , With right Quater panel having a good bit of Filler over it and Blue Primer(Never seen it ever).

The Hood was also repainted. with bondo over it.

Now You People must be wondering why the Doors doesn't have filler over it. Well the Doors were replaced with with Kabli doors by the previous owner and are in fact white in color. Previous owner must have smashed the old doors and got Kabli doors technically its a plus for us.

You can see the white spots , that is the real color

Current Halaat of our Prado.

Great job.

The body looks solid. I really like the shape of this car. You should go with white or dark green with this car. Grey and black don't look good on it.

[hassankhan03]

Thanks, @syeddanishanwaar Bhai,

Going to Plaza in a hour TTo get the Headlights, Backlights, Parking Lamps and Bumpers, will be getting them either from Nippon Motors or Eastren Motors. anymore suggestions or rehnumai?

[syeddanishanwaar]

I have never been to Plaza.

Other PW members can help you here. I got all my parts from Water Pump.

[Xulfiqar]

I refuse to believe someone doing a car restoration in karachi has not been to plaza market.

[syeddanishanwaar]

In 2017, all parts (bumper, lights, etc.) were available at Water pump. The car didn't require complete restoration. Akbar autos is a great shop for quality parts.

I preferred convenience over price since Plaza was a world apart from where I reside - Gulshan e Maymar.

[disisfifty]

excellent effort man, post as many pics of restoration as you can.

[brownrose78]

Going plaza is itself hectic now specially for residents of F.B. area, Rashid Minhas, Gulshan, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Safoora, Scheme 33, Maymar, Gulzar-e-Hijri & Ahsanabad etc.

Things became issue in covid lock down era too where people avoided to go dense markets like Plaza

Now in each area there are Automotive shops in Karachi where rates are almost similar to Plaza like:

Shah Faisal Automotive Market
Water pump Automotive Market
Jauhar Chowrangi Automotive Market
Buffer Zone Automotive Market
Gulshan Madni Masjid Automotive Market
North Karachi Automotive market
Gulshan Disco Bakery Automotive Market
Sagher Centre Automotive Market

Only difference you can say that there are much varieties and availability there in Plaza than other markets which have limited stocks

[nfsmostwanted]

Where is the automotive market at Johar Chowrangi?

[brownrose78]

@nfsmostwanted
Behined Erum shopping center Ladies market

[hassankhan03]

@syeddanishanwaar Water pump market is farig right now, the most renown shop (Akbar autos) didn't even have Maralla's Headlights and had only Chinese backlights, technically water pump ki market Sirf speaker ya kaala paper lag waana k liye reh gai hai , also, will stick to the original Ash Grey colour.

@disisfifty Thank You so much bro.

@brownrose78 IMO, Plaza market bhi fariggh hoti jaarahi hai , apart from a couple of shops like , Eastern, Nippon motors or arafaat autos baaqi are farigh ,heck these Nippon and Eastern motors didn't even had the Diggi/petrol opener for my car and my Car's interior is CUltus wala , saara maal TYC ka bhara hai , No DEPO,Stanly,Koito,

Update 3-9-2022

Was really ill as i caught dengue and had 104F Fever with shivering in the body, lost of strength , haven't visited the workshop for past 5 Days, But the Game plan of the denter is that , He has removed the Windscreen both, back and front and will repair the kinaaris and then he'll move towards the roof and Engine will be removed in the end.

Head and Tail lights with bumpers will be given to them to get the fitment right

For the Lights.

TYC Brand HeadLights.
Lucid Brand Back Lights.
TYC Brand Parking Lamps
Rear Garnish (Local)

[Xulfiqar]

The market is dictated by customers,

You as one person out of ten thousand is asking for good quality parts, the others only ask for “cost” and will choose the cheapest.

So market shops will not stock items that they cannot sell.

[syeddanishanwaar]

This is off-topic but I suggest you drink lots of fluids. The post illness -day 3 to 8 after onset of illness- is a critical stage. This stage lasts for up to 2 to 3 days

Don't visit the workshop during this time. Your focus should be on fluid intake about 2.5 liters or 8 glass.

My wife also currently has dengue fever. Here is the fluid intake daily plan I have developed after research.

2 glass ORS
2 glass fruit juice (apple) with lemon
3 glass simple water
1 glass cocunut water

Avoid antibiotics of any kind. This is a viral infection. May Allah grant you health.Ameen.

Lastly, remember that the second infection is usually severe and fatal in most cases. So, from on you should take extremely measures to avoid a mosquito bite such as rubbing mospel, using a mosquito net, er

[hassankhan03]

@Xulfiqar bhai , gotcha.

@syeddanishanwaar yes following all the remedies and feeling better now.

Any updates Hassan?
