Planniing to restore an old car

[angel247]

Hi!

I am new here and I am planning to buy an old car but it really doesn't look like the old vintage cars na mahal. Anyway, I plan to have an autolock feature, auto /power window... is keyless entry possible?

I likewise want to change the bumper para mukha siyang sporty.

Paint job din siguro, audio and others.

But I want to do it as time goes by because of course it will be expensive.

Where is the best place to have this done? Not only does it provide good service but not that expensive please...

Or can I do it myself? like the wiring and sruff?

Thank you in advance

The alarm/autolock feature will depend on whether the locking is centralized.
It would be easier for others to help you if you specify the model of the car you're looking at restoring.

amoy pimp my ride yan sir a. why not restore your prospective car to its original looks, im sure mas okay yun. suggestion lang naman po. :D

Either that local galant or a mustang 70's that needs a lot of repair. Which do you think is a better experiment? Malamang mustang noh?

How much yung Vette na for sale?

[angel247]

About 700k kasi running pa siya and the paint is still good. haayy kung puwede ko lang kunin na ngayon. Do you think it's too expensive or is it just okay?

by the way, just be careful when leaving your car in a shop for repairs... after a long restoration process, I took my car to have the twin carburetors rebuilt at a shop... when i went to get the car today i noticed scratches on the back hatch and the passenger side window... all that hard work.. >( grrr...

just a heads up lang... so that you don't get into the same situation im in.

Ayaw mo ba ng Porsche 924. Mura lang, 150K.

Meron pa akong 1970 Mach1, no engine and tranny, 90K.

Meron pa 1981 Ttop Trans Am, 160K, with 455 reserve engine. Running, needs paint and interior.

Ok na price ng Vette. San pwede makita.

Anong year yung Porsche 924? Saka ano-ano pa yung kailangan to restore it to optimum running (and 1Million Pogi Points) condition?

[turbo]

The 924 is long gone.

I also sold my 911. Porsche is a great car, if you live US, but here in the Philippines. Parts and maintenance will kill you.

I'd rather have Mustangs and Camaros, easier to work on and can be fixed in the middle of no where.

Kung may garahe ka kaw na lang gumawa lahat.. you'll enjoy restoring your car at magiging familiar ka rin sa car mo. bili ka lang ng service manual para malaman mo kung ano mga dapat gawin

[turbo]

Binili mo na yung Vette?

[angel247]

Got a new project - Ford Capri '73. Any thoughts on how to make this look cool?

Thanks

For power locks and other electrics, we just bring the car to Banawe post-restoration and have it done at Jaffas.

They installed the anti-theft system with remote and MP3 head unit on the '65 Benz. They also installed the CD player and speakers on the '46 Ford.
