A few words about the original:
After two less successful cars, I chose the winning car of the Paris-Dakar 1983 rally, the crew consisted of JACKY ICKX/CLAUDE BRASSEUR. With such a successful car, there are many photos of the original car, models, or even a replica that exists, so I could afford more modifications than with previous models.
My edits:
Considering the number of photos that I managed to get, this is the most modified Dakar minibox that I have put together so far... Minor modifications are from the wheels to the roof. I will mention at least the most important ones:
-in addition to seats with belts and a dashboard with a steering wheel, I added a frame and a spare wheel to the back of the interior.
-I managed to find a photo of the engine, so I made a simple engine and opened the hood.
-I modified the front mask, added the frame, lights, emblem and glazed the main lights, just like the real car had.
I dusted the car and added a simple mat, some photos:
