(The biggest change under my special car makeover project to date for better safety and improved driving – rear disc brakes for a car that initially came with drum brakes)
Phase 1 – change of worn-out front and back suspension components, repair of cabin light (which has been short-circuiting my fuses), door lock malfunction and repair of the dents on 2 doors (eyesore for many months).
Parts changed and the cost to date:-
2 rear Monroe shock absorbers
2 tie rod end
2 ball joint cover
Brake shoe rear
Suspension rod bush
Trim pillar
Lower arm bush
Lower arm bush iron
Room lamp
Left side centre lock gun
Repair and respray on 2 doors
Change of cracked interior plastics
Replacement of missing rim centre coverTotal cost = RM1,498.00
Phase 2 – change of seat covers
Parts changed and the cost to date:-
Coolmax seat covers – the old one lasted for a long time but in serious tear and wear condition
Total cost = RM450.00
(200++ and more songs at a breeze! The new detachable MP3 player)
Phase 3 – change to an MP3 player
Parts changed and the cost to date:-
Sony MP3 player (CDX-GT670US) with remote control but I used back the same old speakers – I paid too much for it, it will be a waste if I replace it now whilst it is still in good working order
Total cost = RM650.00
Phase 4 – yet to commence (change to new rims)
Phase 5 – upgrade of the braking system to a better one
Parts changed and the cost to date:-
Rear axle with attached brake set
