My dream of owning a car came true with this Maruti 800 December 2002 model it has done 104000Kms till date. This is a pre-owned car which i bought it on 29th October 2011. As the care is 12 years in running, i had to do many parts changes, recently on 1st August 2012 i overhauled the engine. After i bought it i replaced the Steering box, front drums and brake shoes, arms, driveshaft. It still gives me 16-20 Kmpl on highways. I would try to give a step by step review on how i managed to change the looks of the car after i bought it.
The 3rd pic is the one the day i bought it 29th Oct 2012.
