Restoration of Nissan Datsun Cherry 1977

The lines are not straight. the coating is like "waves" or u can say the cream on the pastry. ask the painter to smooth them and make them straight. for reference check the door lines in the above posted blue color picture just to have the idea of smooth and straight body lines.

Holes meant for cng cyclinder is filled up. As, i have no intention of installing cng.

[nnabeel]

please remove the brake master cylinder and check for rust spots. Also take care for the areas inside the grills where viper machine is located..

also inspect the holes of the steering rack brackets....if they need repairing.

its good that u r getting rid of cng cylinder. as ur car is naked. you can do some mods. install a diggi opener and a fuel lid opener mechanism. Your dentar can do it easily at this moment. the cheapest solution is that u can use the complete system of Suzuki cultus or Suzuki alto easily available.

pls also check the circled areas. it is not even or it is just the angle of the photo. the groove is visible on the left
while the ride side one is not. please check.

Vehicle is with Mechanic and I am restoring its original engine. Got almost everything from Piston to Clutch Plate. Now, locating Flywheel and water jacket in Chah Sultan, Rwp. Probably, it will take a week more to re-install the engine. @nnabeel (with thanks) has identified some denting works which shall be carried out after installation of engine and before the final paint.

DIY Margalla Sound Deadening/ Sound Proofing

Dear All, This is my first DIY posted on Pakwheels. I have started my sound deadening project of my Margalla 1998, I will be starting from its doors, then flooring, then trunk and after that I will be going for the hood insulation. I have researched in detail regarding the materials that could be used for sound proofing, noise reduction and vibration reduction. Dynamat n other imported ones are bit expensive and items related to them are also available locally so I have checked alternates whic…

Base Paint completed. Final paint will be done later on.

@pwuser149258940499 bhai check all the gaps at this stage.

Waiting for the updates bro????

Mechanical work is in process - got almost every engine part brand new except few. It will take further 2 weeks. Replacing old suspension system with new VXR suspension as per mechanic its economical and does not require any alteration.

[nnabeel]

bhai kya hogaya.

its a datsun, your idiot mechanic is either mad or i dont know what to say.

Putting a suspension of vxr in datsun. Bhai old suspension ko bana ne mai kya masla hai when u can find the parts easily.

Without alteration kaise aega. new holes kerne parengey, measurement, body width, wheel arch distances and many more things. car ka truning radius, handling, shocks mounting, steering box, sb kuch to differ karega.

think twice before doing any experiment which u regret later.

[pwuser149258940499]

@nnabeel sorry brother, i think its not complete suspension. Just the brake drums, Disc Plates, Cyclinder bearing and some other minor things in wheel.

[nnabeel]

oh great..........yes thats a good thing to change drums and disks if they are bolt on.

[omersiddiqui5482]

also the car will not allign properly.

[omersiddiqui5482]

@pwuser149258940499 bhai drums and brakes for this car are available in new as well as kabli. i have seen them in Karachi. you should try to get OEM parts for the car. just a suggestion.

[pwuser149258940499]

Their brakes were not that much good. I discussed with mechanic.

[omersiddiqui5482]

this is going to be a real cool restoration inshallah..
