Suzuki Khyber 1989 Restoration

[mustansir44]

I don't think my brother will be able to as wiring was done by electrician just small portion of it was re-done by us. Also, tools/accessories like wire crimper, wire stripper, crimps, sleeves, original clips, zipties, etc and guidance to electrician was provided by my brother.

Yeah, I am asking same .. Electricians are capable and do their best as per their limited awareness, available knowledge transferred to them by their Ustaad Jeep, lesser academic studies etc. But they do best in available resources.

If there are given chance and awareness like your bro did, same electrician can perform better

Assalam Alaikum all,

I am very heart-broken to tell that I am selling my Khyber due to some financial need of my family and myself too. Below is Pakwheels ad link:

@mustansir44
Hope to see your Khyber update soon too

@nnabeel
Sir, what about your friend? Which car he bought? Nowadays good Khybers are rare so better buy in average condition and build it as per need and budget like this ad:

On a lighter node, today 1 old khyber cum Civic came in my mind shared on pw several years ago perhaps nose-cutted or what it is called

@helper_learner @miqdadkanani

[helper_learner]

looking like a mixture of few different cars

[brownrose78]

Yes @helper_learner
Nose cut experts r common. That Khyber seems combo of Khyber/ Swift, Civic, Accord

[helper_learner]

Hmmm, and it is also looking like cuore.

Assalam Alaikum,

Sorry for being an inactive member. I bought Liana 2010 and using that since previous January(2023). so, Khyber is secondary car which is generally used by my family members. Also, Khyber is running great Alhumdulillah. However, it is showing few rust areas which needs to be addressed. I don't how it appeared in first place as I took every bit of precaution along the restoration process. I think there was some issue when painter applied primer.

Other than that, I am now planning to change tires in near future to 165/65/R13 for better road clearance. Please suggest best tire options.

Can anyone here source a Khyber dashboard? New or used either will do, as long as it's decent and with all accessories

[mustansir44]

Hope you all are having a great day

Just an update about the car. Alhumdulillah Car is running perfectly smooth. I just need to replace tires and rims as they are very old. Recently had a trip of 90km on makran coastal highway and car performed very well Alhumdulillah. The car gave around 21.71 km/l which was great.

[miqdadkanani]

MashAllah. Welcome backkkk after so longgg

[nnabeel]

Masha ALLAH.......

Paisa and mehnat wasool.

Buy some good rubbers and stay within the standard specs for rims. dont go for oversized ones.
