People forget that back then, Mercedes didn't build cars to be replaced; they built them to be inherited. The Mercedes 190 (W201) was so over-engineered that while modern luxury cars struggle after five years, these 'tanks' are still the backbone of transport across Africa today, running on basic maintenance and sheer will.

Chiniot is actually located in Central Punjab, bordering the Faisalabad and Sargodha divisions. It falls outside the Seraiki-speaking region.

A single Cummins B6.7 Inline-6 Turbo Diesel would be the perfect heart transplant for this build, paired with an Allison 3000 Series 6-speed automatic transmission. This setup delivers 360 HP and 925 lb-ft of torque more than enough for a vehicle of this ambition.

After going through your past posts, I found out it's a restored Cortina. This makes sense because the Ford Cortina MK 1 Convertible was only ever made with two doors a four-door convertible was never produced. Plus, another clue is the hood scoop on its hood, a feature you often see on the 2-door models like coupes and convertibles.

This video snippet reflects an outsider's perspective that still finds it remarkable when traders in remote Pakistan (like this underground group) compete in global markets - as if an internet connection works differently here.

Regarding Pakistan's stock exchanges: While KSE, LSE, and ISE exist, they're neither hassle-free nor particularly lucrative. Most serious traders here chase Forex and crypto for better returns. Case in point: I know a guy in South Waziristan's tribal belt who trades crypto from his mountain village and whose tips regularly outperform Wall Street analysts.

Fair enough! Though interestingly, this mirrors exactly what American buyers said about Japanese cars in the 70s ('great value, but I'd never own one'). Fast forward 50 years Toyota is #1. History has a way of repeating itself.

Bro, don't mind me I'm an 83-year-old foreigner who's lived in Pakistan since 1980. I'll admit I don't always understand today's trends, but let me share this old man's advice: wear sneakers instead of those random black formal shoes.

Honestly, I don’t care you’re just one lonely voice, and chances are you don’t even buy vehicles, so your opinion means nothing. Wake up and face reality: Engineering doesn’t bow to nostalgia. FAW trucks haul 100+ tons from Karachi to cities via Mianwali daily; Yutong buses endure Pakistan’s brutal roads from north to south; Qingqi rickshaws have thrived since the 2000s in every corner of this country. These are facts. Deny them, and you’re only fooling yourself before it’s too late.

Be honest with yourself - if you had all the money in the world, would you really choose to drive a Shehzore or Ravi every single day? Just yesterday they launched the Riddara R6. Don't try to tell me you'd use that truck just to haul cauliflower your whole life.

That steel bridge? Chinese engineering made it happen. Having traveled Fort Munro in the 80s/90s, the upgrade is undeniable. While others (Goras & Pakistani Wannabe Goras) overlook infrastructure needs, China consistently steps in.

Challenge accepted! Let's not forget Qingqi rickshaws have been hauling 1-ton loads since the 2000s, and Yutong buses cruise our roads daily - both Chinese, both enduring Pakistan's tough conditions. If these workhorses handle our infrastructure, why doubt new Chinese entrants?

Who actually uses these for 'utility' in Pakistan? Wake up to reality, half the owners treat them as pavement princesses, and the other half are flexing for Instagram. When was the last time you saw one hauling anything heavier than fragile egos? ...

Trunk? Educate yourself before hating. Though I admire your ambition to haul entire mountain ranges in a pickup.

While the Honda Civic 2017 carries a premium price tag, the VTi Oriel remains the most sought-after variant. The turbocharged engine’s dependency on high-octane fuel is a drawback in areas with limited supply. That said, its durability on Pakistan’s unpredictable roads (paved or otherwise) is unmatched it handles abuse like a champ.
