@mituadas:Are you going for cosmetics mods alone or performance ones too?
. Please let us know the list of mods that you have in mind.

mituadas · 18th June 2008, 19:48

This is the look of engine.Any way first i will go for cosmetic work. After that i will go for performance modification.

Nice that you have taken up th restoration job. I would have prefered to keep it in original type I. I see that you have already got type II fenders. Keep us posted. All the best!

ajay99 · 28th June 2008, 12:05

I would suggest you to maintain the originality and if possible get SGP parts for the restoration.
First try to get hold of a PARTS manual and a Workshop manual of SB308IN

mituadas any updates on the work

mituadas · 30th June 2008, 20:20

This denter is too slow and iregular. so i am getting delay in progress. Any way some pic till date works.

Best of luck and try to get proper three point retractable seatbelts for your car. The present ones on your are purely cosmetic.

iraghava · 1st July 2008, 15:01

The floorboards are very rusty, do you plan to repair them? They look like the need to be worked upon.

harry2223 · 1st July 2008, 16:48

manikjeet · 1st July 2008, 20:04
