indeed a beautiful ride.............

@storm how come your chrome rings are so shiny.. are they new ones.

Storm (Storm) 2011-11-25 17:27:50 +0500 #443

Thanks buddy, as for why they ate so shiney,... Nasir picked them up in Canada and I re-polished them when they got here. I've got a knack for making metal shine (hint to what is happening to my 1303)

Nope, will try to get nadir (NUIC) to help me straighten the roof frame and then I'll get a top stitched. Was going to order a new one from the thing shop bit it'd end up costing a fortune (double the price once delivered to Canada).

Tatras are part of the inspiration AND party a smokescreen.

Bumper wasn't sitting straight

Nasir fitting the type 3 horn to the 182 before the VCCCP show

yes, that is a real "W" decklid lying in my thing (transporting it to pindi to fit it to the oval ragtop)

after years the tranny fluid was changed 2 weeks ago (from SAE140 to 75/85) as a flush, in this picture they were filling it with Fuchs Titan SAE90,... finally!

if she's not rusted i'd offer up to 1.5 for her, but from what i can see it would seem she's been standing for quite some time now and will require a TON of work. i'd try my luck and offer 60-70k and see what happens from there. expect to pay at least 2 lacs on top to get her running and on the road again.

There are only 8 on the road in PK as far as we (VWCOP) know so these cars are quite rare and worth restoring. specially since she is a late model 182 (RHD) which are considered VERY collectable in the UK. if you decide to buy it, i can send you a list of all the possible parts you'd ever need for it (excel sheet) so you can then decide what to buy when.

BTW if that roof isn't cracked & the guy is willing to sell it seperately i'll offer him 10000rs right now for it (can negotiate slightly).

Okay...would you like to share with us.

Storm (Storm) 2011-11-27 18:31:19 +0500 #453

Not yet...

sawan345 (sawan345) 2011-12-18 03:36:06 +0500 #454

I was away so couldn't reply ....
I talked to owner for 30 minutes approximately i was behind this ''THING'' for 6 months but he is not willing to sell.Then I requested him to restore it at least.
What he said me that i will restore it after a month or so and will sell it for 2 million lollllzzzz and if i didn't get 2 Million i will not sell it.He suggested me to check this car in the movie name speed 2 a lady drives it you might know.
Well you can try him by hook and crook method otherwise it will be finished because 2 years later he just sold a 1959 peugeot to a kabaria and he cut it into many pieces.
Furthermore i asked him about the rood and he said its the only car with a roof with Mexican seals on it and he himself never seen this car with a roof.He also showed me a picture in his mobile of a BABA gees ''THING'' in kohat in white color you might be familiar with it.
This car is of 1998 embassy according to his info.
Best of luck if you want to try

so in other words this car is going ot rot where it stands and then when it is too late he'll try and sell it by saying "qaid-e-azam rode in it",... LOL!!
