There is a Toyota Hilux that has a 3”x 3” corrosive damage and a developing small crack on the chassis (Chassis location - at the center region straight line down from where the rear door hinges are mounted) does anyone know the technical procedure to get this job done? I figured out that MIG welding a plate would do (instead of ARC welding) but controlling and removing the rust is questionable. must I cut and remove the corroded region or must I just MIG weld the plate over the damaged surface???? Any ideas and advice would be very much of help. I would be also very grateful if someone would recommend a chassis specialist in Colombo who will be able to get the job done. Thank you very much and wish you all well.
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?
