If you got 14 than its also good... go for it... but must check its pcd and offset... in 14 you can use 185/70/14 or 195/70/14....

searching for oroginal mono of cresta cant find here thats for sure.... have asked a freind in austrailia, heard parts r easy there

[inquilabi]

this molding was missing originally .... got it made locally and parking too

[inquilabi]

[Xulfiqar]

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

buy some plastic sheet and install to door metal skin after you are done with the windows and cleanup treatment. have a look at this thread and see what the user syncview did.

This plastic is very important in every car. All go missing in Pakistan and the stupid "seat cushion works shop" install plastic on the finished panels making them fell like a 4K 4D, 2K bus interior.

you will need to make a plastic sheet "curtain" for the power window motor too - this curtain actually would drape over the window motor so water does not flood and damage it. It is stuck to the larger sheet of the plastic - pretty simple

ask for cressida items - some models that were called mark2 in the cressida shape had a similar badge - except it had the star in a cup logo on a brown metallic background. Some crowns had this shape badge but it had a crown on a beige background.

This toyota egg badge on a stick is not correct - toyota egg came about in the late 90s.

I am going to make that cavity wax concoction very soon, i found beeswax, but the place i found is selling for 500 for 250g, so I will try to find a cheaper seller first

buy some candle wax - ask your parchoon hatti for when the "candle" supplier rolls in - get a slab of wax from them - its not that expensive, but beeswax is really great.

I even use it to kill threadlock - its got a very high flash point and it smells NICE - mix a tiny with some rose water and lemon juice and apply to your feet to prevent them cracking in the winter. - OH - never mind this is a car forum.

installing new rims...

[inquilabi]

got brand new tyres 195/70 R14

[nfsmostwanted]

Looking good MaShaaAllah , get the bumpers painted black as white ones are not suiting your car

[Xulfiqar]

the offset is incorrect for your car - your car will now have the turning radius of a ship

[Oracles]

Wrong tires, they are good for 4x4.
Don't be in a rush, take your time and get proper parts the first time

[dosimeter]

Xulfiqar bhai, does offset affect the turning radius? because the turning angle doesn't change with either more or less offset, btw haven't tried it just thinking theoretically

[Xulfiqar]

the wheel footprint has been moved outwards.. you can do the math yourself.

for a chai + rusk session and some reading click below.

There are three important things to remember with relation?* to offset

Thnx for the idea
