If I am not mistaken it is the car I saw in the back of a truck going somewhere in sector F-6 Islamabad.

Unbelievable.. Simply...Having read 666 pages all in two weeks, much to the annoying of the family and then looking for activity on this page since last about one month.
Activity has moved to face book but this forum is WHAT SEPARATES MEN FROM BOYS. so please keep it alive.
@neurosurgeon @ mohsin Ikram @ nmskeikh @romano and many others whose names I cannot recall. Please don't let this Bible of Vintage History and knowledge of Pakistan die a young death

Regards to all

Corolla 75 coupe , not have a classic look

princemsmjin (princemsmjin) 2014-03-31 18:26:52 +0500 #13398

well... maybe doesnt look classic ...
but ... it really looks something ... from an Ugly Stock Corolla Coupe to Cool Looking Car ...
I try to do something like that... I see alot of Modified Old Cars in Pak... alot of talent we have... but BUILD QUALITY isnt that Good Enough in Pakistan ... Why?

alrabab (alrabab) 2014-04-02 03:02:00 +0500 #13399

Because people have not enough money to spend on restoration of cars & People those have money , not have enough time to spend on restoration of there cars

princemsmjin (princemsmjin) 2014-04-02 10:31:51 +0500 #13400

true that !!!
n btw... i noticed 1 thing about GORA PEOPLE ( Specially Americans & British ) ...
those who wanna Modify or Restore their cars ... they do it mostly by themselves, not like us, give it to some mechanics or stuff ... i have a few friends who do all the work by hand on their own cars... from A-Z by themselves... they'd spend months on building a car, working on it on weekends ...
heck, they even Fix their cars themselves.

Mechanics dont have that " FEELING " that YOU have for your car... he just wanna finish the job n get his money... he doesn't care about ur car... he just wants MONEY ...
