From sourcing the car (spoiler: it took two Twingos and a lot of patience), to building a bull bar, welding an aluminum roof rack, fabricating underbody protection plates, fitting a snorkel with cyclone filter, and raising the ride height with Audi 80 and Clio 1 springs — we walk you through every modification we made to get this 20-year-old car desert-ready. We also talk about keeping modifications non-destructive, saving weight by stripping the interior and removing the A/C, and the last-minute temperature sensor fix on the road to inspection day in Irún, Spain. 📍 Filmed on the road to FICOBA, Irún — inspection day! 🔧 MODIFICATIONS OVERVIEW: — Custom bull bar with rally lamps — Aluminum roof rack — Snorkel with cyclone sand filter — 5mm aluminum engine & fuel tank skid plates — Ride height increase (Audi 80 rear springs / Clio 1 front springs) — Matte black bumpers & orange metallic livery wrap — Interior stripped & A/C removed for weight savings — Steel rims with all-season + winter tire setup 🙏 SPONSORS & THANKS: — Winparts (tires) — Uittenbogert (aluminum) — Booij banden (tire mounting) — And all our other amazing sponsors on the car! 💬 Got questions about the build?
