Hi Arun,

I was seeing the pictures of the car from 2009 Gardenia Rally & 2012 Taj Rally. Clearly there has been not much change in the car exterior, hence I guess that the car is in a covered parking. I would suggest that when you plan to start the restoration, please first start working on the trims first. For my Dodge, it took me almost 2 years to get the Hood Emblem. Parts are costly, hence start collecting. If you are patient you could pick some good deals. Once you have the trims to your satisfaction then only start the rest of the work as the mechanical's are good.

Yes, the car is in a covered parking. I will definitely consider your suggestions while taking up further restoration. I do agree that the trims are to be concentrated first as they play a very important part in giving a look to the car and the parts are very costly. I have also imported some cosmetic parts for the vehicle. Which model of Dodge do you have, is it completely restored or under restoration.

Hi,
Does anybody know where the upholstery work was done on the Standard Herald that was at the show (the red interiors)? I am thinking of a similar job on my Fiat.
Cheers
