Thank you! It's 94,xxx an the mechanicals are fully working. Ac doesn't but got one . All headlights original lights works can be a regular commute. I want to retain its original paint and just remove all rusts an do patch.... I love it looking old and I feel it's 30 yr pride ... Don't want to spoil it my new paint an cheap plastics :)
Congrats smvijayan, your ss80 really looks good. Even though it has a good amount of rust it does not look bad at all considering the car was in Chennai and the age.
about the patch work you are planning to go is a good idea, but make sure your painter matches the paint shade with the old original paint on the car cos the fresh François white shade will look new when compared to the other body parts.
also try to find a original side mirror, i am telling this cos i see you live in Singapore right now and it shouldn't be hard to source the same there.

While waiting for a detailed restoration, Meantime to kill its rust a some patch work and a fresh quote has been done . Thanks to my dad and the local mechanic :). Honestly for the 12k..they did a great job. Now im more keen to know what spares will make it look more original. The car looks ins great shape and healthy :). Im keen on a older convertible or a bettle if anyone has one..im upto it :)

Hi Adil. I'd advice to put them up for sale on The Automotive India Marketplace where it will receive more attention.

Friends,
Below is an excerpt from a legendary Maruti SS80 which was the 1st one ever to come and be owned in India. At present the car appears in not so good condition. But the history behind this car is still evergreen and interesting as ever.
