Hello everyone, I’m back after a while. Another car another story! this is our Toyota Aqua S key package 2014 model. Bought it back in 2018 it was fresh import with just 47k on odo. Later the car was stolen in August 2022 and was sourced in 2023 January and then it was later recovered in April 2023 after spending hefty amount as more than half of our country is corrupt :’) in the end we spent 1.5 million to bring our car back from Swat. Yes we actually bought our own car from ncp showroom by paying 900k and 600k was just the bribe. The car which was legally ours and was stolen we had to spend almost the same amount which we spent to buy this car in 2018. long story short the car is a complete mess now. Interior is fully converted to L package. Seats are replaced door cards are now white and rear door windows are conventional manual ones. Interior plastic trims are missing, ABS is gone, AC Compressor is nowhere to be found, headlights and tail lights are replaced with broken parts. No speakers no brakes no ac everything is messed up. Will be starting this project from today onwards and I’m pretty much excited! I’m attaching the current pictures of the car and its condition. Will appreciate if someone could help me sourcing parts at good rates 🥹
Dashboard mat, a weathershield set and genuine mudguards would do good.
There’s a lot to add on.
Astaghfirullah, how in the world dealer was selling this mess? can't wait to see it restored..
When we first saw the car in swat it was atleast better than what we have right now (attaching the pictures) it was under the custody of police and no wonder swat sey Lahore pohanchte pohanchte ye haalat hogayi :’) in short i learned our whole system is frkn corrupt.
