So, it wasn't so easy... Worth to do it if you are owning those old cars with high displacement like old rolls royce.

Old RR nowadays are surprisingly cheap. Some are selling under RM100k for models above 20 years old... I remember seeing old ones like Silver Spur selling for under RM100k at mudah.my.

buy a car is easy, keeping the car (for years) isn't.

Just like smartphone ownership.....

Why smartphone? For me, it doesn't require any maintenance financially other than phone bill.

But when it comes to car mods, people here often buy although nothing broke.

Hi guys, look at this thread ..i know 10 years ago, but yeah its in selangor.

As for the celica supra, i mean the one right after this "firebird" lookalike. The one that looks like lotus esprit.
The C210 aka 180k and 240k isnt what I am after, as those are actually 70's designs, plus nothing that special too me.
yes the RA60 celica is very ugly, especially the earlier ones, They did improve the looks towards the 84 to 86 ones, but still not my cup of tea.

I saw a 2nd gen Celica Supra for the first time 4 days ago in Ipoh old town. Looks well maintained. Silver coloured with RS watanabe style rims. If I am not mistaken, it should be this exact same car because the colour and wheels matched this one here.

Meanwhile at that moment, I was fetching 3 of my friends in my car. 1 is a car guy while the other 2 is not. So they ask me, AE86 ah?

Hahahaha. It looks like the interior is not as well maintained as the exterior. I notice a lot of old school cars are like this. Exterior looks pretty much tip top, but interior is just so so. Perhaps it is harder to find parts to restore the bits on the interior?

correct! unless its a very common car, usually not easy to cari parts, anyay... years of wear and tear does take its toll. the car in question here is actually in pretty good cond for its age..... You might be surprised to find that it is a lot more exp to refurbish the interior of a car compared to its exterior

Exterior wise, any skilled bodywork shop can do it. Plus I believe some of the external parts can custom made by factories if original parts can't be found. Interior parts are more difficult to be fabricated again I think?
