From a local assembly project in Minuwangoda. Its completely legal.

Bro, Can you please explain me bit more about this process of assembling vehicles. Is there a factory and are the vehicles brought to Sri Lanka in 2 parts and assembled here or is it small small parts? Im very eager to know about this because thats strange, so far I didn't know about this project though I live just one kilometre away from Minuwangoda. Hope you would explain me how this project works and what models of cars are manufactured there. Thanks in advance.

congrats gummy, hope you've seen the project and how the cars being assembled. This is completely from a safety point of view and its the only worry or fear factor some ppl have on assembled cars. Do they assure the air bags functionality 'n all? however this is a nice machine and nice buy. BTW what will happen to the old lancer? any pics ?

Ok here you go some pics of the old ride.

Drove the 110 to Ratnapura and back and it was so boring so I was flinging it hard into bends, handled well but nothing like driving the old girl, which I did after coming home drove the Lancer to a friends place and the difference in performance was apparent (I mean to say its far more enjoying and pulls well for a 30 year old)

Bro, It seems like you have a RPM meter or some kind of meter on your lancer's dashboard. If its a RPM meter, please can you tell me from where you bought it and how much it was? Thats because Im also searching to buy a RPM meter for my car. Thank you very much. Its a great help if you can let me know.

Its a RPM meter alrite, auto gauge rpm meter. Bought from m*t*r C*de, cost me about 2000 bucks inclusive of discount for cash purchase.

Well rman2000, I'm planning to sell it for nothing less than 250,000. Have a few buyers already but havent confirmed yet. Mine doesnt have A/C, its a brand new import in 1979. Yours is 5 speed or 4 speed?
