Hello and good day to all:)

I dont know whether this is the right place to ask my kind of questions but just trying to get expert opinion so you will forgive me if im a little but noob on this.

I have a proton saga 1.3 manual 1st edition. Belongs to my dad and i believe its the 1st edition because its using magma engine.

I wanted to repair it and make up back to its standard.

Here is the items that i believe needed to repair:
1. Air conditioning
2. Want to change from Manual to Auto thus changing the gearbox
3. Power steering
4. Coating & Painting. Prefer Blue/Silver Metallic.
5. Probably the lights or bumpers/skirting. Just standard.
Edit: 6. Door and Window need to repair to.

The tires and absorber still in good condition as it had been replaced not so long ago.

Engine still in good condition although i think it would need to do some cleaning or what so ever related. I dont think it need to be overhaul.

Battery or plugs probably need to be changed but should be ok. I think i have extra somewhere.

Would like to know how much cost need to invest in this small project of mine smile.gif

Your kind advise is much appreciated.

Thanks

Once u convert to auto u car might become fuel guzzler.
I suggest u maintain to manual
And manual car is quite fun to drive.

Much obliged for your reply and ill keep that in my list when repairing the door! smile.gif

Im not very good at manual driving huhuhu... plus i think the gear box already wrecked and needing to be change so why not just change to auto. But if i found a good condition manual gear box ill think about staying with manual.

1) 500-600 for both recond compressor/cooling coils. ori denso may be a few hundred more
2) 700-1k+ give/take IINM
3) around 1k+ iinm
4) depending on the clear coat quality, paint quality etc, it could be between 1k-4k for a whole car paint job. if you're changing color, more expensive cuz interior need to be painted too (unless you want to have funny 2 colors on the inside/outside
5) ori front headlamps are like rm300-500 for a pair. rears maybe 200-400? try to stick to ori for the headlamps/tail lights as they have proper light throw/projection, and the plastic is typically better in quality not to mention it wont have fitting issues to your car at all.

bumpers and skirting are usually less than a hundred/around a hundred depending on what part you're getting. its the paint job that is costy.

6) oddly, my 13 years old car until now no need to repair power windows yet, so no experience.
replaced the doors itself though (only the metal part, inner trims, window glass and lock/power windows etc remain
Thanks for your info:) will take all above in consideration.
I will start repair all the main items 1st. Air cond, gearbox and doors/windows. Power Steering comes later. Budget around 3k... hopefully its enough huhu. Though ill be preparing another 2k for backup. So total 5k budget.... pheewww i hope its worthy huhu
