The car was not started yet...so did not know if it starts or not ......gears engage or not....There were no brakes and riight rear axle was also "almost broken".....I wanted the car to roll under its own power...so fixed it temporarely..engine fired after a good amount of struggle .......So asked Raees to drive it a little .....without brakes;)...

Being reversed.....first time under her own power......

Raees does not know the direction of reverse gear.....so fighting with the stick....

Rehman Bhai,
Frankly speaking, modification or such projects didn't appeal me ever. but by starting this thread I came across the dedication height which you have produced and and I felt attached with it so firmely that I wanna say now
"PLz keep it up Rehman Bhai with some more pace because I M a late comer and want to see more in less time. Curiosity makes Selfishness in some times but kia karen janab!
And yes way of communication is great sir!

Salamz Rashid Bhai,
nice of you for your kind words....Actually these old and rusty stuff (classic cars)... is an addiction.once you are trapped ,very difficult to get rid of it....Lolz...Your company in this thread will be great....Actually our meeting and conversation is the main stuff....Therse cars are only a "BAHANA"...
This project is far ahead than we see here .....I will try to upload pics with more pace.....
And I bet that you will be amazed to see the coming pics ....I just visited workshop today after a few days and what I saw was Amazing ......I could not believe that It is possible with bare hands and simple tools like hammer etc....
