I am really glad that you feel that way, I'm honored Quote:

The fit and finish looks great and it was quite a nail biting read , with each challenge faced and the way you found your way around it. |

Hats off to your patience and commitment to the Funcari project.
Thank you so very much for the kind words! I'm honored for my Alto to receive such praise. Also, please share a link to the Crio project if you have it, I've read about it earlier as well and searched for it but I wasn't able to find it.
Cheers. | Quote:

The headlights look great and pretty unique too! How's the car modding scene in Pakistan? |
Thank you so much for the appreciation! Glad that you liked it! Thank you for appreciating the lights as well, I made these custom lights before the engine swap, they're fitted with ACME Bi-Xenon projectors. I'll share some photos of that project in this thread as well. The car modification scene in Pakistan is quite good, with people swapping engines into different vehicles as there isn't a law that prohibits them to do so as long as you update all the documents. The car did however receive some confused looks from the examiner when it went to have its engine number updated in the documents Quote:

Spent an hour enjoying the meticulous details of your project. A really fun and unique project. The car looks great. Have fun with your pocket rocket. |
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad that you liked it! Really appreciate it. Quote:

Thank you so very much for the appreciation! I will definitely update the thread with the experience in a little time. Right now, I'm having a great time driving the vehicle. Its getting great fuel average and it accelerates effortlessly, that's the best part that I'm enjoying!
I would like to thank everyone for following the thread and appreciating the build and the vehicle. I feel honored for my build to get so much praise. Its great to be here!
