@notorious
i think that if you have spent 3 lacks then your demand shoudl be 3 lacks. don't settle for anything less. afterall i've crossed the 4 lacsk mark on my 1303 so far and i've made it clear to anyone that if they are interested tehy should come to me with no less than what this project has cost me.

i'm glad to say that i have had offersover 3.5 but in all honesty i'm not interested in selling it since there are few 1303's out there better than mine now, and rebuilding one now will be more of a nightmare. i'd suggest you stick to a 3 lack demand and wait it out.

@romano
i don't have anyone coming in from LHR at the moment who would be able to bring that item you were talking about.

AoA whats the status of Basit. ...

Does some one do the mechanical stuff at Basit's Place also. . . these pics are from Basit's place right

[msm]

@NaveedRizvi DONOT let hiz mechanic touch ur car... can u tell me wats the prob wid ur beetle?

and ya Abdul Basit is shifting hiz place.. i'll let u know abt hiz new place

[NaveedRizvi]

No I am not going to have anything fixed by his mechanic if there is any.

I asked coz u were not getting your's dented and painted right now and u were at Basit's place. Is Basit back to work.

Why is he shifting his place.
I guess the problem is ignition.

[msm]

i was there for Abdul Basit's son have to inquire abt a 66 bug ...

hez shifting because that place belongs to some 1 else and the owner wanna construct a plaza there...

for ur ignition check Syed autos (Dr. Asad usually recommends this guy ) . the guy opposite to Syed autos wid same name is also a good guy... Naeem is also know abt beetles. After checkup frm naeem I am getting nice fuel average, next is break and steering box frm this guy. wasted my time and money wid don't know how many calls and visits for same work at Abdul Basit's place,, got no idea weather his mechanic dint wanted to do it or don't know how to do it ....

Not a bad specimen

[NaveedRizvi]

@msm

Where is this bug some where between HAsan Square and NIPA ?? Is Basit open n Sunday.

[Storm]

that 73 could be a decent parts car for my 1303 but other than that it looks like it'll need big cash and time to ever return to it's former glory.
