To esteem or not to esteem

My classmate has an old type 1 esteem. It has virtually no suspension. The power windows need a lot of power. And the A/C is a joke. But it can go fast. Really fast. I personally hit a max of 160kmph on the L&T highway.
After a a few hundred kilometers inside the car, we all convinced him to repair it. He thought for a moment and said, "Why not convert it to the new esteem Type 3".

Coimbatore is really famous for second hand goods and fancy stuff. All the fancy stuff in Kerala and surrounding places come from here. My classmate and a friend of his went to this place which kinda looks like an NFS underground garage.... Full of neat stuff... and got themselves a type 3 bumper for just about Rs 850.
Cool huh ?

We then went to some local stores here to ask about a complete restructuring... Type3 fenders, headlights, tail light assembly, and spoiler. While my friends were asking about the prices and stuff, I was walking around the shop looking at all the accessories. Personally, I dont like cars. I'd rather been seen in a scorpio or something of that sort.

We then went to some local workshops to ask about the price of servicing the whole car including paint work. I fell in love with one of the local garages. They had a lot of vintage vehicles. An old US army jeep, a couple of BSA 500cc bikes and stuff like that.



Esteem is a really nice car. Its also easy to maintain. All the spares and upgrades come cheap. The only problem is that at higher speeds the car becomes unstable. How do you expect 800Kg of metal to be stable at 100kmph.
Anyways I am waiting for the car to come out of the garage. It will take a month or two.
