[toruk-makto]

@doc.tarzan sir jee check out the condition of the car when I bought it, i will soon share some updates of the work which has been carried out.

Looking forward for your feedback.

Ohhh man looks horrible sorry with layers upon layers of poteen and missing loads of stuff . Rust is the no 1 killer of old cars specially Japanese. If i was you i wouldn't touch it , it's done and dusted . Sorry but my honest opiniom

[toruk-makto]

appreciate your opinion. Apparently it seems that it is dusted but you will be surprised to see that its just a bad paint job done before the body is Ok or maybe the best we can get in Karachi due to the weather.

What was underneath it yummy clean better off my expectations the uneven body that you see was all puttin.

Let me show you the pictures tomorrow.

Cheers.

[toruk-makto]

check out the thick layer of puttin and the body underneath it

[doc.tarzan]

Much better indeed

[toruk-makto]

Hello All,

Finally the scraping & denting is done now the project is up for mechanical improvement (suspension, ball joints, brakes, tie rod, arms and rear shaft.

[toruk-makto]

Project Updates:
1. Front & rear suspension completely restored with brand new rear springs.
2. Brakes upgraded with new pads (Along with the new disk of Left side) ... Finding the disk was quite a challenge but we found it.
3. Ball joints, lower arms, steering rod (Amazingly found the entire stuff brand new & original Carina parts, the seller in plaza told us that after 15 years somebody came after the stuff for Carina)
4. Tie rod both front & rear joints upgraded.

Next is to start paint job along with Engine Transplant

Assalamulaikum

Sir i have bought the same car from olx and now i am giving the same car for dent and paint. Just need a little help, from where did you got the products of this car???

[shariqkhan300]

what kind of products ? and what is your location?

[azeem.scorpion.ak]

side mirrors, wind screen, tail lights and door glass. and please suggest me good denter and painter in Karachi

[shariqkhan300]

dont know about karachi as i am in ISB.
tail lights are the hardest to find. light maker can make it for you if you have the frame. i got mine custom made.
side mirrors bhi orignal nai milain ge. so you have to go with the ones you think suits the best.
door glass/ windscreen you can search with dealers who have stuff for 70's/80 corolla.

and if by any chance while searching for your stuff you find external tail light frames, do let me know
