Ah Po's rm400 404

What the………………
Server like usual. NOT CONNECTED. Aih…………
How do I post?????

Back to KL with a bit of info on my 404 project. Actually the Ah P’s 404 is not in working condition. It was left to rust in the humid air of tropical country.

On Thursday evening, my 3rd uncle called, “lets go see the car.” So I drive my mother faithful Proton Saga Megavalve year 1990 (will it someday acquire the classic status?) to my uncle place. Picked him up and his 2 sons and a daughter followed (all below 10 years old).

My little cousin said “why don’t you buy a more beautiful car.” Some day my dear cousin some day… you will understand the beauty of a classic car. Seems like my young cousins don’t understand yet why I like old car. Actually she (5 to 6 years old) also went to see a Mercedes 200D in Besut. Followed her father my 3rd uncle. Someday my dear cousin someday…. You will know the beauty of a fintail models.

Actually the Ah Po’s 404 once owned by my 2nd uncle. He sold to some tauke in Tanah Merah. Some how the tauke sold the car to Ah Po. Then Ah Po overhauled the engine to sell it. But no one seems to appreciate this french beauty. So he just let it there, under the sun. what a pity.

For a RM400 I think it is worth it. Since the engine is still there. Mostly. Hopefully still can be used. I will ask my uncle to haul it back to my place in kelantan first. Then I will think of the next move.

fan in a car


what is this.........................
server been slow slow slow. wanna upload picture also cannot.
been trying for many time too upload a picture of a fan. this fan is used in old cars that are with out air conditioning. my uncle car was equipped with this kinda fan. i suppose the fan is still there. i can still imagine the rides in the 404. hot air rushing in from open windows. dusty air. if it is raining u are like in an air tight sardine tin. that the beauty of a classic ride i suppose. but now most ppl with mod the car to put on an air condition system. for a more comfy ride.

i must pinjam my bro digi cam. i will take lotsa photos of the 404. LOSTSA i mean. hopefully i got time to do that.

p/s. aaaih... still cant upload. later........

RM400 for a 404

Cant  hardly wait. Tommorrow I  will be back to Kelantan. Ooooooooooo yeah..
It will be great. Furthermore, my uncle called last nite. He said there is a 404 selling at RM400. with the ori engine. But he said something is missing. Hmmm…… what is missing. He also doesn’t know. But no problem I will be back. He will take me to have a look at the car. Hope fully it is a good buy.

If the engine is still good and the chasis is out of shape. I may tranfer the engine into my uncle 404. I believe my uncle 404 chasis is still in good condition. Importantly I can make the car road worthy again. Drive it to kl (wah a long way to travel).
