Hi Guys,
I need a little advise on some things
My wife is starting to think on the topic of driving and upon discussion i came to know that she in favour of driving something user friendly like an automatic .
But seeing the options in the market ,She not happy so i came with idea of gifting her car
Now comes the deli-ma. .Which car to buy or which car to restore .
Personally wanted to restore a car so hence here i am .
While going thru blogs and website came across a maruti 800 even zen and 1000 in automatic variants so can they be a candidates or take the body of these and put a new heart in them as recently my friend came across a crashed a star with engine and gearbox intact & my luck it is an automatic
SO my brain came into working starting to work out the details
My Canvas
1.SB308 Maruti 800 1984 onwards model
2.Maruti's Hot Hatch The ZEN 1999 onwards
3.Or Even a Maruti Gypsy
Can you point out which is the most suitable out of the three for the automatic transplant
Garage and other parts can be taken care as my friend has an access to a fully preprepared army garage and MGP Parts are avaliable for all three above .
Guru's Please advise as i really wanted to go thru the restoration route but being my first time and not really excepting the reality i am asking you guys for help
