Hi everyone,
This is shrijit303.Logged in TAI after ages.Was busy with studies the entire year long, but finally got some time to build a wooden garage during winter vacations.The steps to build are as follows:-
1)Take few pieces of a plywood of any width(I did it with 12mm ply) and get it cut into the desired size.
2)Since I wanted to laminate the interior too,I did the inside lamination before making the dovetail joint and dried the glue for a day.
3)The next thing is to cut a dovetail joint using a chisel and carefully getting it fixed and dry it for a day.
4)Once the dovetail has dried up, Lamination begins on the exterior using masking tape.
5)After drying it for a day, the garage is finally completed.
Unfortunately, I did not click any pictures of the above procedures,but I will surely upload the pictures in a day or two.
Any suggestions/comments and questions are welcomed.

Thats sad.
But for 20k~25k, you'll not only get a used Alternator but an entire running old vehicle. Atleast here there so many junky Omnis running on the road. Or you can try altering it with nano/ Alto/ Swift alternator. Pully change will be required.
