Last day we went to shershah market in search of steering wheel but couldn't find one we r looking for.
How ever we got an ideal deal on complete seats set.
They r MARK X seats fully auto powered.

If any one have any ideas for dashboard modification do Share it, not thinking of it for now.

Pics are attached for idea.

Good going bro. The only thing that is bothering me is that Honda City side mirror. Although the shape isn't looking too out of place, the size of the mirror is kind of gaudy for this vehicle. Maybe some thing like the following would be better:

And here's some inspiration for the interior

[Ehsan_Zafar]

Agree with u on side mirrors. But at shershah we couldn't find the old style side mirrors. There was all plastic one. Hoping that at plaza we can find them:).

Coming to interior now, this is one of the descent design n w'll prefer it for sure:)

Thanks for sharing idea

God, no! I hope the seats fit. Fixing seats from a newer car into older car never works, older cars have tight interiors. I hope for your sake the seats fit.

[Ehsan_Zafar]

Hoping so they will fit as in case of wider it have no issues but height n length need calculations. N in case if it not fit then.... " koi gal nai La k fir doje La laingay" .

But m sure they will fit as I have spend 2-hrs today with denter in explaining where should b it placed n how lower it should be.

Why don't you go for these type of seats;

This will give a classic and premium look. Not hard and fast but you can find similar one in shershah and then custom make it. You must get these side mirrors from shershah;

This one wud be difficullt but will really go awsome with ur ride;

Try searching for this too

[Ehsan_Zafar]

Side mirrors of such type was not available at shershah. Will find them at plaza market.

For seats... , they do give look but semi bucket is at least what we have to go for to stick in :). Keeping the HP increasing in future can't go for straight seats

[Xulfiqar]

the sidemirrors you are looking for are usually available in markets where old datsun sunny 1200 parts are sold.

the seats you bought will not fit unless you bash in the floor or trans tunnel, the best and eventual low cost option would be to rework the original seat chassis with new finishwork.

Finishwork is not "aam seat ki dukaan" - anyone can stretch some vinyl, but it takes a craftsman to make something beautiful.

[Xulfiqar]

did your welder just tack the metal on a rusted floor?

This car needs a rotisserie or atleast a deep pit, the sides of the floors are terribly rusted out and need to be remade - you can remove complete panels if your welder/denter is crafty enough and you can get this piece hand made as one long item, look for bus body builders in orangi town. Stitch it and the beauty panel back into place and flood this with body cavity wax after priming it from inside.

[Ehsan_Zafar]

@ Xulfiqar , yes every panel that is rusted is being replaced with custom build panels. Its being almost 2 week couldn't went to project site for updated on progress. However the above refereed pic is old one n i'll share the latest one for cross checking if any thing is lacking.

last visit progress is attached in below pic

[supraman2jz]

The seats are too tall for this car.

Nice work......

[mhaderaziz_official]

Updates??

[nnabeel]

nice project...............please take care of the body rust as all your efforts will go in vein if rusting is not properly treated. moreover, re work the original seats as the newer ones are not looking good....
