The components of this Maruti 800 have been chopped off completely, including the roof, doors and bonnet. After taking it apart, the modifier starts working on everything from scratch. The bonnet is made first followed by a completely new front bumper. The front grille here is very similar to the older Suzuki Jimny.
The height of the bonnet has been raised to look like an SUV. Once the front portion is made, it is welded into a single portion and then painted. Also, you can see that it gets round headlamps which is still seen on the Suzuki Jimny. It is now made into a two door SUV with no roof and a sporty convertible-type spoiler.
It also gets these tractor tyres and a reworked suspension, which again for the SUV feel. Some of the aftermarket accessories include LED headlamps, side-facing seats for rear occupants, new tail lamps and a white colour dashboard with blue panels. All these modifications are done at a local workshop which is something to applaud. Hats off to the guy who made this!
