@ all Karachi wallas
Please see the Karachi Chapter forum, planning a meet on 22nd Nov, Sunday. Please provide your input and thoughts.
@ Storm
What Farrukh was asking for was the full dashboard of the 1303. 1302 bugs come with a steel dash. They may have the padding on like any post 68 (or for that matter any post 58) bug can.
That's a beautiful unit! Where did you get it from?? Its a mid 60s one and seems to be in good shape. What are your plans with it?
It may still be available. The cousin who owns it has left for UK, bug's with his family. However I dont think this car would suit your requirements since it would need a ground up rebuild very soon.
The 1302 has been sold and is no longer on the market.
I am guessing that car must have been scrapped by now. Havent asked about it. Metal prices had crashed so the guy was slowing down the scrapping process with an aim to sell the whole car if he got a good price. Recently he sold a very nice Morris Minor for 48k.
The problem with cars coming into shersha is we have a very small window period to rescue the car. You have to act quick.
Let me know if you are really interested in a pre 64 bug. It would be like I call you someday, tell you there's a good bug and would need cash to stop the massacre at a days notice.
Let me know.
Great to have you with us, Shakeel.
Please ask your father if he needs something from me for your 58 bug project. Give him the reference of Mr.Syed of Syed Autos. You may pmail me.
Very sorry to see this happen. Let me know if you need help/advice for rebuilding brakes. I can recommend someone for the job if you dont have a reliable mechanic.
I would suggest you change the entire system with new parts in one go if the brakes act up often. It would be money well spent.
