Mukhtiar is the name of the painter who paints my cars. He works in F-11, Islamabad...and his number is 0333 9096621.

I get my cars' interiors done from Ishfaq, whose poshish wali shop is located in Sadar, Rawalpindi. His tel no is 0300 5118575.

Regarding your query of 'rates' for chrome, well, they don't actually have any per square inch rate. The money they charge depends on the nature of the work, which differs from item to item.

Edges and lines starting to become apparent, and neater.

A 'kacha' look at how flames are going to look on the car. Made with chalk...the photo really doesn't do 'em justice.

More lines.

The beautiful gullwing bonnet; starting to take shape.

The front, with the radiator now bolted to the frame, rather than touch-welded to it.

Side view. The doors have gotten the treatment, so that they sit flush with the body panels.

Starting to look the part!

A slight distraction. A photo taken at a different ongoing project.

Sir i saw this on Tuesday when electrician was working on wiring

[Ch_Hammas]

sir can you please share details of your elec. guy as well.

LOL, Faraz.

Actually, this is a project which I'd deliberately kept hidden away for a while...hoping to let it come out into the open once it's finished. Now that it is close to completion, I suppose it's alright to let the curtains part a little.

This is a 1st Gen Mustang (1973), which has been under the knife for a while. Initial plans were to fit it with a Ford V8...which later shifted to a V12...and which eventually ended up on a 3.0L twin-turbo straight six.

Hopefully, this cobalt-blue and black Mustang (Mach 1.5) should be hitting the streets of Islamabad and Rawalpindi within a month or so, Allah be willing. And sure, Faraz...that position you mentioned is ALWAYS unoccupied and reserved for you.

Boss, there are different electricians required for different jobs. For example, a general 'wiring wallah' electrician for wiring and appliances, and an EFI electrician for computer tuning, tweaks and harnesses. Yet another electrician may be required for matters pertaining to immobilisers, keyless entry, etc.

Some of the electricians I've worked with are:-

Hameed (EFI): 0333 9161277
Arshad (EFI + Immobilisers / Keyless Entry): 0323 5119859
Billu (General Wiring / Appliances): 0314 5053676

Hope that helps.

Brother, I'm not quite certain, as I have neither owned a 95 Prado, or a 87 Prado...so I have no real idea if they're cross-compatible or not. However, I'm quite sure that we are fully capable of modifying / altering anything in Pakistan. You could pay a visit to the Jeep market of City Sadar Road, and have a couple of experts give you good advice.

Jamil Ustaad (0345 5057564) and Nikku Ustaad (0333 5214839) might be able to guide you better.

As for my inbox...it's empty. But I seem unable to receive any messages there.

The Slam Job

One thing I just love about this build is how it empowers you to take all sorts of liberties with it.

One such recent liberty is the addition of a much smaller set of wheels and tyres with the car. The purchased wheels and tyres are big-beefy offroad tyres...sitting on 16 inch wheels. These keep the ride height high (despite a drop of over a foot). This is a good thing for negotiating potholes, speed breakers, and the other miscellaneous hazards that we encounter on our roads.

Hoowever, there are times when you want to keep things a little...different.

For this, there's the set of Bullitt wheels with GoodYear Eagles that I'd mentioned earlier. Today, we got these wheels and tyres over to the build site (along with the spacers that are a necessity for them). The result, I have to say, is astonishing.

The incredibly deep dish of the American Racing wheels, is augmented by the spacers, and extends the track a whopping 12 inches from the rear, at both sides. The cabin of the car is 62 inches at its broadest. The outer edges of the wheels are 85 inches apart. A difference of close to two feet! In addition to this, the smaller wheels and lower tyres serve to drop the car by another 3 odd inches. Without the engine weight, or any other fitting, then...the car sits all of ten inches above the ground, at the lowest edge of the cabin. When we're done, this entire ride height (with the smaller tyres) should be somewhere in the range of 8-9 inches. Which will make it look phenomenally low, exceptionally wide, and give it a really aggressive stance.

In other news, we've also affixed the bug-eyed headlamps onto the front of the vehicle. And have also added the cowl for the bottom of the radiator grille. The car is finally, starting to look the part, gradually.

Insha Allah, tomorrow, we go about finishing off the floor of the cabin, and affix the steering wheel and column. I can't wait for this car to finally get completed!

Pictures...

[fouadhafeez]

By the way, when I use the term "smaller tyres" for the GoodYears, it's in relation to the massive Coopers, that are going to be used for everyday use. This picture will show just how big the Goodyears really are, in relation to the tyres of the Suzuki parked on the right.

Fouad bhai ... wysy need to be more slammed to road... try to get very low profile tires or install hydraulics to raise or lower.... Even with new shoes seems to be higher ... if you install hydraulic it will gives you liberty of any thing you want either more height or road se ragar khati hue...

To be honest, Faisal...I don't want it to be slammed so low that it becomes a PITA to drive. With the bigger tyres, the car will be tall enough to negotiate anything and everything. With the smaller Goodyears, it should still be able to get over speed breakers, etc, with ease. Low profile tyres have a couple of disadvantages. First, they look "incorrect" with the styling. Secondly, in a car like this you actually want some meat on the tyres to absorb potholes etc at high speeds.

As for hydraulics, I've considered that option...but I don't really want (or need) to get into complicating things further. This car should be fun to drive...and drive hard...without having to worry, or bother about such delicacies as hydraulics. With the taller tyres, I'd like to take it to some off-the-beaten-track places. Who knows...perhaps I go to witness next year's Cholistan rally on it! Hydraulics would make it more of a show car, and less of a driver's car, in my humble opinion.

We also have to keep in mind that this is an honest-to-goodness TRUCK. Of the Bedford / Isuzu / Hino / Dodge category. Dropping it to within ten inches of the road is enough drop, I think.

[fouadhafeez]

Not a car-related post...but please do read and extend help, if you know of the owners.

[farazarif]

I can see the logic of not wanting the car to be a PITA to drive but those smaller wheels look HOT!

what a build! fantastic
