Paint it with body color

[xenerking]

looking cool even in black, but the other dings and marks on trunk are distracting and making it not stand out as it shud

[aziz.rehan]

First apply some paper on the place that the lip will sit on to protect car paint from double tape sticking when u remove it.

Excel noise on max right or left, plus the front passenger side shock leakage - Excel and shock replaced total cost 15k.

15k seems too much. Do you know breakup of the cost?

[xenerking]

replaced strut with kabuli? really?

[KamranAslam]

Axle 12K , Strut 3K.

I was expecting it within 9 to 10K --- but the kabarr market was a surprise.

[KamranAslam]

Kabuli one seemed better compared to mine with leakage.

Since It was at work for axle - I was like its better to take care of it now.

[xenerking]

yup flu is better than covid

[chinyoti]

Gave the car for some peices to be painted/corrected.

Driver side front door
Rear left fender
Rear left door
Bonnet
Half boot aswell.

Alot of other dings and dangs. Alot of bad paint work.

Will fix the boot too. Trying to keep genuine paint intact and also fix where ever possible.

Should get the car back in next week.

Added chrome door handles, and chrome boot strip aswell.

And the lip spoiler to be painted in matching color.

[chinyoti]

3k is ok for kaam chalao, but for starters you should replace shock absorbers in pairs and new if possible.

[KamranAslam]

Your car work progress .... still in process ?

[chinyoti]

Yes expected to deliver by Monday/Tuesday InshaAllah.

[chinyoti]

Fitting Started

[Xulfiqar]

Is your cars alignment correct and are you using atf or power steering fluid in the system?

[Xulfiqar]

Factory that makes hose assemblies? are these the two brothers that ran a lathe shop back in the day?

[chinyoti]

Alignment is perfect.

Using power steering fluid.

When I got the car, the pump was already leaking.

Second time a oil line leaked which could be accessed from behind the driver side tire underneath.

Third time this leak has been rectified by a jubilee clip. No leaks so far,

Using light weight rims still the steering feels heavy.
