Building a Dakar...
How we can help you realise your dream Dakar.

We can help realise your dream in owning a Dakar by not just providing the Dakar kits, but building it for you as well. We have broken down the conversion process into several stages as the following pictures will show. Each stage is individually priced allowing you to choose to have your kit assembled to whatever level you wish, be that just a strip down of your donor up to a full build with your chosen accessories fitted. These separate stages allow you to spread the cost of your kit purchase and build over several months.

Stage 1

 The first stage is for us to strip down your donor vehicle to the rolling chassis stage. All the donor bodywork is removed, that is, the interior, doors, tailgates, outer & inner wings, roof, body frame and rear floor, leaving the bulkhead and front floor panel in place. The chassis is jet washed and the rear over hang cut off to the correct dimensions. At this point the vehicle is not running as the Dakar cooling and fuel systems are not fitted.
 

Stage 2

 Building on from Stage 1, the Dakar side frames are fitted to the Donors out riggers and the one piece roll cage lifted into place and aligned. Side panels are fitted and the body shell secured into position. The Bonnet is trimmed and fitted and the windscreen wiper assembly modified to the Dakar's requirements.
 

Stage 3

 Using stage 2 as starting point the vehicle is made fully road legal. We fit the rear floor, inner wheel arches and fuel tank. The radiator is re-fitted and plumbed in, along with it's header tank. All other under bonnet components are fitted, including the screen wash & jets, power steering fluid reservoir, and all other ancillaries depending on the donor vehicles specifications. The interior that was removed in Stage 1 is cleaned and re-fitted, that is seats, dash trim and floor coverings. The body shell is drilled and the auxiliary lighting units wired into place. Both your front and rear nudge bars are now fitted and the head/spot lights fitted, and correctly lined up. Lastly, your choice of wheels and tyres are fitted and the vehicle MOT'd if required.
 

Stage 4

 The fourth and final stage is the fitment of your accessories to make the Dakar complete. This includes the doors and their supporting panels, the roof (be that hard or soft top), bonnet scoop, Stereo systems, radiator grille, side steps, livery, even the fuel tank is filled ready for you to collect, drive off and enjoy
