maruti 800 restoration

Hello,


I happen to posses an old Maruti Suzuki 800 car for about 8 years. It was bought for my brother years ago on completion of his post grads. The car was cool and had capability to get an attention anywhere it would go. Since there were not many competitors in small car segment those days , Maruti 800 had the solo possession to dominate the India roads.


This white beauty has travelled all over maharastra and it started all this from its maiden journey from Kalyan to Nagpur. Past that , the car has also witnessed and experienced the history's worst rainfall and floods in Mumbai. This car was submerged under water for 4 days and kept floating for another 5 days during the 26th july rains in Mumbai.


Long after now tough I posses couple of more high end cars , my old maruti 800 still hold its root very deep within me and my family. In due course of time the cars has undergone numerous mechanical changes and overhauling. The car values not more that Rs20k and thus I decided to undertake car restoration project .


The car is currently in garage and I would like to uploads some of its pics for you guys to help with your valuable comments and opinions .
