peeps4u:
I think OP has met a brick wall due to financial constraint and the work has been paused for now. He never expected all the expenses.
May God help you.

God no go shame us

My Honda Transformation story starts here,pls Try to follow this story cuzz I will keep updating it until it's a 100% fully Transformed into a Beast.
I saw an advert of a 2007 Honda Crv green in color a month ago here on nairaland, when I saw it, I knew it got a whole lot of work to be on both paint job, body work, parts changed like Bumper back and front, fender, boot, back and front headlights, sides mirrors are all gone.
To cut the story short, we agreed for a price and I picked it up, oboy as I dey drive go house car off for road oh, temperature raised, over heating, managed to fix that.
The main reason why I opened this post...is for we all to learn a lot from my experience and also transformation of the car. This are pictures of when I got the car,

The whole thing was looking so bad compare to what he advertised on nairaland, he used pictures of when he bought it which made the pics of the car looks clean, on getting there myself, it was this that I saw, so since it's a cheap buy, I decided to buy it,
I was told of a guy who Transform anything driven, that he is the best at car transformation, like upholstery work, body work, good paint oven bake jobs, mechanical and upgrades to newer models,so I contacted him, delivered the car for him to inspect and gave me an estimate...

I doubt if you know the true second hand value of that CRV Sir,the very good reg (Nigerian used) of that car is up to 1.5mil,and to correct your notion most Toyota and Honda have better second value here in Nigeria than the cars you mentioned

Kelvinjohnson11:
but bros, u stupid sha,ur mumu stupid pass ur foolishness sha, most people wai no fit buy keke or bike go dey insult others wai own cars, life is just funny here in Nigeria,
On nairaland here I see Gwagon of 2002 upgraded to 2019 and sold for 20 to 30M and people buy it, money put in it to make it looks as comfortable as u want it to be,
Same way some fools will think people who use 100m to buy a a car is stupid mean while u think like a poor man that's why u feel so, once someone has money, u don't think twice before u do what u want and wish just like the OP,
Like the OP said he is buying it for his girl, just like I read it properly, he also gave reason why he hasn't updated this thread.... If most Nigerians learn not to insult as any giving time for no reason God will bless u when u pray, most of u have that bad habit to always want to say trash just be have LIKES,
Anyway OP we still dey wait oh as u said this week,

Kelvinjohnson11:
Oga are u sure u can really Read the whole thing the OP wrote ? I doubt, the O. P said the engine and gear is good, just needed body work, spray, bumper was bad but manageable of u choose too, the chairs turn, and reason he wrote this thread was to bring it back to Tokumbo standard, I see some of u read with ur Anus and type with ur Dick,

uchman:
Are you sure you are not the OP? just a question and no insult intended

I had inspected the car before. The gear indicator light on the dashboard was blinking, which means the car has a gear censor problem. I’m sorry O.P, that car was a wrong buy. Too much work on it to buy for that price. Shit happens bro. Even we dealers do buy wrong at times. Bro, package the car and sell it out. Nigerian used cars are now very expensive, trust me, someone will buy from you. Just open up on the condition so they don’t come back to make trouble.

SKhanmi:
Op, I still have faith you will bring this thread to conclusion. We plenty wey still dey wait.
