Ok guys. Sorry for the lack of updates. As I am away I have no access to pics and progress daily. The Jeep is out of the garage after a Heavy mechanical refresh. It is currently in the paint shop. She's starting to look. The list of stuff that was done in the garage is looong,but soo satisfying. I'll leave a teaser... Number will be revealed after the retro plates are fitted in.

Highest spec goes for even 7.5Mil

The stock system has been fully changed. Since we are not going for them huge tires, or a lift. It might suffice, if not will convert to Disks. Trying hard to keep things stock. Because all retrofits are from vans and Lorry’s.

Enjoy some pics. Our neighbors are like “ai malli 2016 L200 ekak tyeddi oka gatte? Pinance hira welada ? Leda wadi ne owala. Thel bausar “ ??

Thanks bro

Thanks for the detailed explanation bro. I just updated my original post with the plans for it. The engine was done up recently by the seller. We have given the vehicle to an independent 4DR expert. He is taking apart everything on the mechanical aspect. Yes we plan to do off roading, my brother is a big adventure guy and regularly goes on trips out there. We used our L200 all this time, but it takes a heavy beating. Plus that being common rail diesel doesn’t help. So we are obsessed with the mechanicals. Lights will be changed late into the project. We plan to keep it mostly stock. Only the absolute modern components will be fitted. suggestions always welcome. Thank you

Hi guys. Hope Corona has not affected anybody. we were not planning on buying a Mitsubishi Jeep at all. But corona had us at home, so me and my brothers decided to get one and restore it. Finding one proved difficult,most have bad documents and ALL of them with open papers. Service records are non existent. Badly rusted and abused the hell out. But the demand seems to be heavy. Even the rust buckets went fast for insane prices. Most Jeeps are HEAVILY overpriced and covered up. Many of them had “sale paints” And big tires to fool the buyer. We went through the clasifieds for almost 2 months and checked close to 25 vehicles all over the country. Expensive to do so, as the mechanic had to be with us to check,etc. Finally landed on this. Its a J24 short wheel base safari model. Pre-facelift model. We went for this because it was pre 1971, it needs no eco test and the condition was satisfactory for the price. It needs much love though. The Jeep went straight to the garage from sellers house and is being done up as of now. I will update the list of things to be done and what our plans are.also pics will be shared. I am currently away from the country, so I'm waiting on my bro for updates. suggestions and opinions welcome! Just doing my part to get back AL from Thel higannas and other cheapos. Edit.added plans on top post for future reference! So my plans for the Jeep is as follows, 1. New radiator and cooling system restore & re clean. 2. Switch to coolant. 3. Brakes are being changed. Liners/pads and the full works. 4. Full 4wd system overhaul. 5. Clutch pack/whatever necessary is being changed. 6. Tires are being changed. Will not go for huge tires/rims because this will actively be used for heavy off-roading around the island. Will go for mud tires in the same sizing. 7. Wheels will be resprayed in silver(original color). 8. Rear and front lights will be changed (except the front headlights). 9. The rust is bare minimum and the paint is mostly excellent, so we will be dealing with rust and a respray over the bad areas. 10. Seats are being replaced and been done up in Synthetic Leather. Rear seats will be redone in original specs. Not the bench type. Will post pics as I go. 11. New double layer Canopy with openings on the sides. Full black. 12. AC is being installed. 13.Full service with ALL the Oils and Filters change. 14. interior meters will be restored to work and other switches/lights will also be fixed. 15. New steering wheel. 16.re carpeting of the full interior. will have more stuff to be done as we go. Engine,Gearbox and Chassis is perfect. Engine needs a paint on top though. Any mechanicals needed are being done in one go. Nothing is being spared on the running aspect.

Dont under estimate power of the new rich, " super isport kaar" crowd thats popped up! Must be those vegan food I had the misfortune of eating these days. ?

@Vikum Samarasinghe Drop everything. Evo Conversion. @AVANTE unleash thy evoness upon this young car guy. He shall have no sleep or peace untill he goes through it after our many ideas are unleashed on his naive self!

My 2nd post went hidden.hmm any idea mods?

WagonR guy was an idiot. He turned without stopping . His wheels even lifted. Plus the Subaru was waaaay to fast for that road. I guess the GonR is at fault here. Subaru owner is definitely Instagram type wanna be rich kid on insta/car spotters type. Lots of new rich yobos on the street with their expensive cars doing some crazy sh*t. Comments as usual were sad on the post. I make it a point to not view any comments on ANY social media platforms from now on. IQ level of many is worse than a rat.

Inbox. Asking for a friend. Research purposes. ?

Could you make it a bit bigger? Soo tiny. Its hard to see.

Close. But not a Targa top. And its actually an S.

Daarn it. You already saw that pic. Your turn!

There we go...

Had one. Battery drainage is only second to a tiktok/instagram model. Bought for 2.7 in 207 sold for 2.1 in 3 years in 2019 jan. Which is not bad. Ours had 150kms when bought.had 100 when selling. But most of them only hold like 50kms per charge. No joke. Do Not Buy. Plenty going for 500,000 rupees. Even that has no buyers. You will sell it for metal in 2 more years. Period.

The leaf is cheaper than a Jack leaf now. Dont buy it.

Fortuner?

Yes. Its a 2019 Mahindra Bolero!

Wanna take a guess?

Ad wagon is basic. 1500cc engine. Does good on petrol. Not underpowered either. touches 150 without a fuss. Has badic creature comforts. Seats are super unsupportive. They will give you a spine ache for sure. Get the seats changed if you buy one. My brother actually had to get ayurveda treatment for the backnafter one year of use. Not thaaat comfy either. Specially in the back. But lots of space and good hauler. Wingroad is mostly same. More features,more comfier. 1800cc engine. Thirsty on petrol(7ish city). Smoother as well. The wingroad is like a more premium ad wagon.

You can even get a GP5 under 3 million. Plenty around.Selling prices are much lower than asking prices on most cars nowadays.Much better car. But watch-out for dual clutch issue(its like 200k for a repair,said a guy who did it. Used to be 400k.)
