Suzuki FX restoration

[Zulfi007]

Yes. But are you sure about the cost because once I had asked the dashboard fellow at plaza / magazine lane he asked 3000 just for the top pad and these pads were available ready made but local for 3000 , don't know the current price now.

[nnabeel]

Please start the work on your car. dashboard and interior should be the last thing to go in the car.
as for pad price, the job is not more than that. magazine lane ppl charge too much because they think the guy coming to them for this job will pay whatever they charge.

However, the dashboard waley baba near matric board office is also expensive but his work is good and takes a lot of time.

[Zulfi007]

You're right. That's why I am searching for interior solution now as it will take time and I can utilize that time till the car gets ready.

Also, kindly tell can I install retractable seat belts in Suzuki FX and which car's can go in it.

[nnabeel]

Yes retractable seat belts can be installed. there is very less space available in the bottom of pillars in fx. you need to find seat belts with smaller retract motor size that can fit in the pillar. the pillar of FX are closed because it came with non retractable seat belts.

you need to get it installed and checked while the floor work or body work is in process. your dentar will do the job

[nnabeel]

so what is the progress now?

[Zulfi007]

All new things have been given to the denter. He is doing first the doors and footboard along with front pillars and footboard round at the back. Floors 3 out of 4 are good and will remain the same, only driver's side has been changed. I was just wondering do these doors sit as the original doors or they will have some flaw.

[Zulfi007]

Also tell me about inner lock are they repaired or replaced?

[nnabeel]

minor adjustment might be required.

for inner locks, if they are worn out, buy new ones, if they are rusty and in bad condition, get them serviced and checked.

[Zulfi007]

As denter is of the view that" local doors hain " Taiwan milte tou acha tha, , but as of for the setting the doors are Masha Allah going good.

So will the denter do the locks or the door fellow separately?

[def3nder]

locks

Get new set of locks. includes door locks, ignition key and digi lock. Jo original fx me ate they and mehran me b ate they.

[Zulfi007]

Nice. I will definitely go for that. But my question was about inner locks and are those done by denter or the locks fellow.

[omersiddiqui5482]

The locks will be adjusted by the locksmith. Get the denting completed first the ask the locksmith to sync the locks before paint.

[def3nder]

inner locks

wo kon sey hote hain ?

[nnabeel]

he is asking about the lock mechanism inside the door that includes the rods, pins and door catching mechanism.

[def3nder]

[Zulfi007]

Any famous locksmith in Karachi?

[Zulfi007]

Please guide me about car painting and what should be the painting cost. What should be average cost of paint.

[omersiddiqui5482]

Depends on the condition and what type of paint you want on the car.

[def3nder]

han ji bhai jan whats the update so far? share some info and pictures of your restoration project

[Zulfi007]

Car has come back to life and almost all the rust has been removed so far and some will be covered in paint. I don't want to go for paint baking as it costly and a headache to touch ups later and I know it's the best that is done but don't want it. I need normal paint with good result. Which type of paint quality is good and what comes first in the paint process. As I need this information as the painter is about to see the car and will give his rate.
