3 Jonga's

starter · 11th October 2010, 15:08

Hey Vijay,
Thanks for sharing this update.
Good to see that you and Viji are getting these ready.
From the pictures, your vehicle seems to have a better body line than Viji's.
Would you retain the body and paint as it is or would you make it a soft-top like how Viji's vehicle is?
What about Shakir's jonga?
Cheers,
Deepak

PS: If it was an hour difference, i could've met you at Surakshaa on Saturday. Did not know that you & Chetan would be coming

No Deepak, its the other way

Viji's appears like that because he had removed the paint completely and i have not.

First i want to get the mechanicals done and body work is at last with least priority. Currently the engine is running fine and its very smooth. never thought it would be so delightful. though i like only diesels this one has impressed me a lot. I don't mind driving it like this..

YouTube - NISSAN PATROL DE YUTAJE SO GOOD

Viji, have you asked for sealer in all the joints / openings from where water entry is possible? Is this the final color?

BTW, Vivek means Papa boost, right?

Viji, I have personally not used these so can't recommend any one. Just ensure that the gaps / openings are covered and sealed efficiently. 3M going by their products, nothing much can go wrong.

Guessed it from the quality of paint work
