  1. The car was exposed to the sunlight & rain for a long time. So there was corrosion on almost all body panels and floorboard too. Cleaned the plug wires, filled the tank, connected a charged battery and attempt to start it. After several attempt it started. The destination (my home) was 120 km and we started the journey around 11.00 am. As I was aware cars condition, selected rural roads. Brakes were very weak. So could not exceed 30kmh. During the trip had to replace a tire and the fan belt. Finally reached to the destination around 9.00 pm. Here are some initial condition pictures. Special thanks should go to @Davy for encouraging me to write this in a discussion.

  2. Construction is finished. Just took the route last week. But if you're afraid of heights and if your clutch balance (if you're driving manual) is shit, this route can be quite hair raising. It took me about 40 minutes from Mawanella to Gampola. Look out for vehicles coming down on the hairpins. Due to the steep incline and steep banks in the hairpins, even small vehicles can't keep to the lane.

  5. Well if you intend to put the vehicle for agent repairs its mandatory that you check if the particular insurance company accepts agent repairs or do deductions. For me when i had to insure my Mazda for Eg. SLIC did not accept company repair while on the spot guys did. I went for the on the spot guys despite Rs.24K difference in premium and it paid off when i had to replace damaged rear buffer for 255K and they paid the entire thing. Similarly you need to check if they give air bag cover, windscreen cover etc etc. I guess what out people dont do is read the insurance policy/covers and terms before accepting a policy.
