I have a very old 1990 Mehran which is now in very bad shape.
It is totally a rust bucket and has not been maintained since forever.

We had given it to our Foreman for running errands and he totally destroyed it.

I now ask you to please tell me what to do with it. What will be the cost of complete repair of body to remove all rust.
Also if anyone knows a good place in Karachi where I can get it fixed.

Is it worth saving?
Please check out the pics.

Your advice will be highly appreciated.

Bro, engine overhaul/change will safely exhaust around 35-40k...the body is F'ed...it needs complete stay of over a month with denter. And since everything is rusted, it will need over 70-80k for body restoration...and full body bake paint will not be less that for 35-40k...means you will end up spending 150k on this car...whereas Khi market is flooded with 92-95 model mehrans for around 120-160k with cng, running conditions and almost acceptable body condition...so restoration deal is not wise as per my opinion...sell it as 'as is where is' basis

Agreed @shoaibjafri9
It will be restored in between 50k

The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are "IGNORANT"

Denting 18k Max
Painting 20k Max
Other misc stuff 15k max

so it can be restored within the range of 60k, and if you wanted to restore its engine then add max 20k
