hi,

   in bangalore there is one guy....mr murthy..his no is9916128118...

Hi Manu,

Thanks, But I hav alredy contacted him. He is converting only AT vehicles

Its a bit more complex to modify manual vehicles and this will cost you more than the roughly 10k required for converting Automatics.

We had gone around looking for such alternatives for my father-in-law and the ball-park figure for converting a Manual vehicle was in the region of 30-35k while that for the automatics was in rhe region of about 10k.

Some people here have asked why it costs so much as it is basically a cable job.  I would say that its worth getting a job done well at a higher cost than to get some slipshod jugaad done as the life of the person driving depends on the quality of the job.  The driver is already handicapped and his reflexes may be much slower - a well thought-out and designed piece of work with the least chance of failure would be desirable in such cases and believe me its worth paying that much more.

PS: We finally settled on an i10 Kappa Sportz automatic and paid Rs.10k for the modification.  I'm still not happy with the quality of finish, but the linkages are sturdy and the modification looks very well built.

dear nagender,

 could i ask you for the contact details of Jaipur guys who are modifying the MT cars  for ppl with both lower limbs disability... kindly share... in need desperately.. regards

I was just watching this show, Pimp my ride where these guys just take your old car and they do it up with all new stuff….new lights, seats, wheels, stereo, paint….they pretty much change the whole car. I wish someone would do that in India. It would be such a surprise if you suddenly turned up in a new car, and then you revealed that it’s the same one.

To Manu,

Hi,

From where did you get your car registered as Invalid carriage and where did you get license?  I am struggling to get these things done from RTO. I am facing so much issues even to get an LL (I have done the modification from Murthy) can you please help me?
