Mohsin Bhai.

That Ford Model A engine would look much better in apple grean which was the original colour on it. That red and black will mar the originality of the restoration.

Please post some more pics of that Fiat Spyder and the Roadmaster.

@ Mohsin bhai

 Present!

 Just been really tied down by work commitments. The new job kills me (as compared to the old one :P) 

 Please let us know about the upcoming show....confirmed for the 7th of Feb??? Is the venue the same as before??

Best wishes and regards

@wsfahmed
thank you very much for the suggestion which I would defintely consider. The engine was overhauled before the car came to me and it was all painted black. I downloaded various pics of Ford A engines on restored cars and they were in different colors.....Owner chose red/black combo so I painted that. Do you have pics of the apple green color? I 'll also search the web for the right shade and will advise the owner accordingly who listens to me

@asadishaque
show in 7th - same location

@fadee
welcome - asadishaque would be teh best person to advise you on a VW

Mohsin Bhai.

I will have to look on the net for the net for pictures of a Ford A engine and will send them to you shortly.

In the mean time here is a link to the Ford Model A Club of America who if contacted will be able to help you with any questions on this car. The other is the link for model A restorers society.

Hope this helps.

We have had a 28 Ford Model A Roadster from new in our family and I have also restored a 30 Deluxe roadster for a Friend

Had to skive off work as I couldn't concentrate while these beauties were parked up in the Westin Grand ( Munchen ) lobby. Poxy iPhone pictures but you will get an idea they were as cold as the weather was.

@Fadee
I am sure someone on this thread might be able to help you with 280 Z etc. I dont have a clue.

@wsf
thank for the help....I did download a lot of pics and found engines in different colors. I had ordered some books which have just arrived and I 'll go through them. 8 cartons of parts have arrived including a set of 5 white wall tires.

mohsin uncle,

do you guys pay the full customs duty or is there a way around it. Because with shipping to KHI the cost almost doubles in many cases.

mohsinikram (mohsinikram) 2010-02-03 23:33:39 +0500 #8811

@timmy
I get my stuff delivered in Dubai and i get it by hand myself. The other way is to get the sender of parts to show less value on the invoice. Recently I made a monkey out of myself by ordering GBP 80 worth of parts for my Austin Healey and ended up paying Rs.19,000 in duty and 9,000 freight to the sender. I was so angry with myself.

neurosurgeon:

supersonic... lad dont mean to be condescending butr the orange peel and paint ripple are two different things. Orange peel is just too grainy a paint ... happens a lot due to a thick paint....and a bad paint job.

Paint ripple is something else entirely. When "puteen" is put onto primer so as to smoothen the finish the painters normally put it in a vertical direction lading to a layering of the base... even major sanding cant get rid of the vertical lines which are especially visible in metallics. Just stand by the side of a car painted recently by the inexpert and you will see what I man.

Javed is a ripoff. I juts paid him 50 k for a 15 k paint job. took the rx8 to him for a rear fender bender...and he painted the wholw side as well as both the bumpers.... and charged me for the process anyway. This was to hise the slight colour mismatch. The fault was mine as I did not settle with him first.... I think he is overrated.

I dont have any painter now...fired him with the denter... his brother... and am trying a new one... with the datsun... am taking leave from June 16 so will stand on his head and get the stuff done.... base preparation is what matters....and making sure that rust doesnt come out through even after 5 years.

Anyhow I am happy... the rx7 engine has been ordered and delivery is expected in 3 weeks. Am thinking of getting extra gauges and a fancy gauge pod for it with an autometer boost gauge, oil temp and oil pressure gauge...and also 17 ich alloys to replace the gorgeous genesis 18 inchers it has at the moment... but make the ride very crashy.

The ALfa Grill is on its way tro Pakistan and ....
