I've ordered some deep dish 14inch but will take around a month to deliver, the one installed are temporary for the sake of driving it around. The front bumper is its original bumper while the rear one I think has changed, might be of se saloon ones. The fender mirror are it's original mirrors no different than 4 door. Ref pictures attached.

The bumpers are in really bad state though, I have to agree, am going for steel ones for a change.

[rare]

fender mirrors are genuine or replica?

[pwuser148869690584]

They are genuine electric (not connected) from peshawar shoba

Excellent work.
add door mouldings (goley) and side view mirrors.

[cityrider]

Thanks! Yes I will install side view mirrors. I was thinking to have the fendor mirrors which are pretty expensive. meanwhile I got hand on the F1 style side mirrors which i will install soon.
For door mouldings I am not really interested.

[rare]

window mounted genuine side mirrors must be cheaper than fender side mirrors and more reliable...

[syedwaqarhussain22]

Exactly, you can't manage in sity traffic fender mirrors.
These are more reliable and cheap. Go for this one.
FYI in Karachi at shershah you can get fender ones round Rs. 4,000.

[Hassan1991]

Awesome work.

[cityrider]

Thanks for the appreciation!

[umarabdullah]

One of the cleanest ones I've seen in a while, Ma'shAllah Excellent work visible all round, the panels are aligned better than what we get on a zero meter grande, especially the boot! I presume it is a daily driver or I would have suggested an ever so slight and subtle hight drop. Great effort. I am genuinely impressed with the boot, the alignment and the carpet are simple , perfect and tastefully classy. If only similar alignment and finish of dash was there...

[cityrider]

Thanks a lot for the in depth precious analysis of your's. I have tried to keep it simple and elegant. Regarding the dashboard yes there is alignment issue thanks for pointing out. But i would like to share the picture of this same dash which was restored. Before & after picture attached. Further suggestions are welcomed

[Hassan1991]

No need any further work....one can't make old car perfect while living in Pakistan.....it's more then enough when car is close to perfect which your ke70 is .....

[umarabdullah]

The dash is perfect, it looks great , especially if you compare it to the old picture, I was just pointing out that maybe if the other side(driver side) is opened and refitted maybe it would make a diff, but as @Hassan1991 points out , in Pakistan it is near impossible to restore cars completely, massive respect from my side. Your car is indeed tastefully restored and (more importantly) mostly to factory spec which is rare . Ma'shAllah , may it serve you for long

[toyotatwincam20v]

please suggest me for this car, California style mirrors or Fender mirrors?
