Building the
Kaspa Rally Car.

Four stages. Four image sets. Follow the transformation from workshop starting point to the finished Kaspa Rally machine.

Starting point / Workshop

The build begins.

The opening stage documents the car as it enters the workshop: inspection, strip-down and the first decisions that turn a road-going shell into a rally project.

  • The workshop bay at Auto Souto with the BMW raised on a two-post lift, tool chests and a stripped bumper laid out on a bench

Engineering / Preparation

Mechanical & preparation.

Up on the lift and stripped back to the shell, then rebuilt piece by piece: diagnostics and wiring, suspension and brakes, a competition seat where the road interior used to be, and the sunroof aperture panelled over.

  • The silver BMW raised on a two-post lift in the workshop, seen from below the front bumper with the undertray and suspension exposed

Bodywork / Identity

Bodywork & Kaspa livery.

Bodywork first: panels straightened and prepared, then the whole shell masked and laid up in primer before it goes under colour. It comes back out of the booth in white, which is the base the Kaspa livery gets laid over.

  • The BMW shell in the spray booth coated in primer, with the windscreen, side windows and roof masked off in tape and paper

Complete / Ready to race

The finished rally car.

The final section is the payoff: completed details, full-car views and the machine ready for its first start line after the StagHunt-funded build.
