@VCheng.....
You are right brother....convertibles can only be enjoyed with the top down in winters here....but its opposite at your end...
In summers.....good chance of "sunstroke" in 40+ degree C..
sorry for delay in posting pics due to some unavoidable circumstances....

I know just how hot is gets there, I have been out in 52 degrees C in central punjab myself. But here, MINUS 40 degrees C is equally uncomfortable and just as deadly too.

I do hope that everything is okay with you and your family, specially health.

Wish you all the best, and STILL waiting for the pictures!

@VCheng.....
Thank you so much brother for your concerns and nice n kind words....Actually I have to take care of all the matters.....being alone...including farming in my village Sahiwal and other affairs in Lahore...So sometimes I get stuck and cant find time and chance for my relaxation activity "spitfires" and other vehicles....You know what I mean...
Pics are on the way....
actually thinking about ....from where to continue....jumped to the pics of final preparation...and again jumped to the "Very final" pics before the show....
mmmm I think I continue from the very last pic I posted before the show pics and fill that gap......
Then we will go back to the "previous technical sessions" and will maintain the sequence of the pics.....
I have a lot to share ...So please bear with me...
Regards..

Salamz Brothers.....

Newly painted but eating dust...

I think ,I posted this last pic before the vcccp event pics...so lets continue from here........

[spitfire]

So tyres changed......
Red one received tyres from blue spitfire.....

[spitfire]

And blue received white walled tyres originally fitted to red one.
BTW I am looking for a similar set of tyres.....Any help from any one???hard to find in Lahore....

[spitfire]

Have a look at these spider nests.......
disturbed a permanent home of spiders....

[VCheng]

We are rolling again!

[spitfire]

Rear ones changed and now working on the front ones.....

[spitfire]

@VCheng....
Yup.....

[spitfire]

Another view....Almost same amount of dust and spiders....

[spitfire]

Front tyre removed...
If you notice....in the background....Raees is rolling the tyre to the "DEN" where the red spitfire is dumped.... to replace the tyre.....

[spitfire]

And our dusty wire wheel caps recovered from the storage...waiting to be cleaned and installed....

[spitfire]

Front wheels also installed.....

[VCheng]

Front tyre removed...
If you notice....in the background....Raees is rolling the tyre to the "DEN" where the red spitfire is dumped.... to replace the tyre.....

In addition, what I DO notice is a classic Corolla that seems to be in great shape! More details on that too if you please!

[spitfire]

Now a cleaning session.....

[spitfire]

@VCheng.....
Oh sure brother.....That is a toyota corolla 1982 model......I bought it in 82 and its with me since then....28 years now....
It has done around 2,50,000kms from new...and received an engine overhauled by me at home at 2,22,000kms......
Wai,Wait......
I had a thread of its engine overhaul in detail....which was left incomplete......
Oh brother you reminded me of that lost/incomplete thread....
lets dig it again and share/complete it...with some current pics too...
how about that????

isnt that the same corolla someone was interested to buy?
