Edmund : My car's Rebuild Maruti 800

Sankar · 9th February 2006, 15:36

Edmund, I'll get the headlights for you, lemme know when. Right now i'm at Trivandrum, will be back in bangy next week.

The autocop costed me around 5k. It's the basic system, alarm goes off if someone tries to open the door/hood or tries start the vehicle when system is armed.

Standard ones dude, why you got any suggestions?
I see you nick is 'Hothatch' !!! Thats wat my cars gonna be!!!
Cheers!!~

Standard pistons are the way to go during restoration for the utmost Reliability.

Oversized ones are prone to leakages, etc...So, a definite no-no unless u're the experimenting scientist.

Edmund · 17th February 2006, 23:21

Back from my goan holiday........ the car is at the paint guy's place, it has been sanded down, i think we're running a little behind schedule but the owner of the garage assures me that he'll have the car rolling by the first week of march.....................

The colour is the Nissan Skyline GTR Blue from the DuPont catalogue for Nissan!!!!
It's called Blue PM Effect [Formula: P6755]
Pictures as soon as i get some time off work!!!

Edmund · 18th February 2006, 00:25

One big question guys........ what insurance should i consider when the car hits the road?
Right now im with New India Assurance Co, Third Party!!!

nitrous · 18th February 2006, 22:40

Convert the third party insurance to a comprehensive one.

Check the insurance review section on our forum.

Hey Edmund...... Dying to see your car come out of the workshop.

Why don't you post more pics of your car undergoing the painting process.

Anyway hope it comes out great.

Edmund · 19th February 2006, 20:58

Am taking the day off from work tomorrow to sort out some stuff, will see if i can get a few pics of my car in the paintshop!

Although it is not ready for paint as yet, the primer is yet to go on!!!
