@phamilyman: Yeah i would have loved owning an OHC but there were a lot of drawbacks i felt while TDing one at a showroom , the most prominent one was the ultra low seating which my dad wasnt comfortable with. The baleno was out as it looked outdated. And ya a good conditioned OHC was not fitting the budget, so picked up the Accent for 2.2l
@Ram: Thanks bro. Didnt want to smoke the tail lamps as the coating comes out over the time which would make it look crap. I wanted to add a mesh grill but was not allowed by folks at home. Will try to put in the mesh behind the OEM grill.
@hell_Raiser: Thanks,I have the before pics but its not getting transfered from my phone to my laptop, giving some connection error, will try to post later. The interiors arnt that great, It has Beige artificial leather seat covers which will be changed next month, kinda out of cash after the restoration. Else the panelling etc is in good conditioned and maintained well. the car is a 2002 model and was picked up for 2.2l.
@agspins: Thanks bro, will be a good idea if u get the right car at a good price and its definitely worth the expense you will do on it. I paid 2.2l and recieving arnd 10 kmpl, still have to calculate the mileage after the tyre upsize. |
