Why is your engine running cold? did you just start the engine and take a picture?

the door you show open shows starting signs" of the rusting problems these cars have, the door card is also warped out of shape. The rusting is due to clogged drains in the doors, remove the door card and clean out the doors and apply body cavity wax in there - or at least rub a candle in there to prevent rust from making holes in the doors - the door will rust very badly - its a design fault.

the door card being warped out of shape is due to the missing/warped plastic sheet on the door or leaking glass rubber on the roof.

Xulfiqar bhai.. same happened with me about door cards, they are made of hard board, even there is plastic sheet on doors. And regarding door holes, i have all opened but there is some sign of rust also appearing.

Am a noob and may be its a stupid question, that what is cavity wax? What we say it in local language? And one more thing where we have to rub candle, on rust outside or from inside of door??

Inquilabi sorry for asking this question in your thread..

[Xulfiqar]

if the door cards are warping due to humidity then there is some leak in the plastic barrier or the interior has some other water leak.

The cavity wax is called body cavity wax - it will be available at almost any autobody paint supply store or even american brand dealerships (GM, Ford, Chrysler etc) -ask them for the spray that is done inside doors and body panels.

if you cannot find it then get a few candles, remove the door card, clean out the door cavity completely, open up all drains and then rub the candle on the door skin from inside - it makes a very good coat of wax but its not very long lasting due to high heat in your country.

[margallar]

I have plans to make some of your desi body cavity wax, i would like to know the urdu name for beeswax

btw i was wetsanding away some rust from the inside of the trunk and i noticed water beading, i guess that was wax, whatever it is, its good stuff

[Xulfiqar]

moam - as in moambatti - aka candle aka shama.

Sir please don't forget our conversation about rims. Where did you find these ones btw?

[Oracles]

Just to clarify to you guys that there are a lot of hollow and very wide rims available in Peshawar now a days but there is a catch .... they are locally built from jeep rims (costs 6 to 11k) , what the rim modifying guys do is that they first full the centre hole with metal then trim it both ways than drill holes according to pcd and the dia of central hole, so you can guess that their is a big margin of error, one the car drives berth heavy??? And most don't get balanced right and wobble @ speed plus you never know the level of strength ....ii would not recommend

Doc that is a major NO NO....that is like playing with fire inside a petrol station.

Its far easier to get the hub modified.

[Oracles]

Just saw almost these kind of rims but they were 13, will they suit the car as tyre profile will get high

Any suggestions if I should go for them as currently I'm running 14

You need to run 15 inch with 225/50/15 tires

[Oracles]

rusting has started specially on the edges... will be take care of
the board warping issue is only on the driving side panel

will open the door panels this week and see about the drainage and fix the board properly

the main reason of opening boards is the power window machines are jammed and not functioning properly wil service the motors
