With $800 USD, Bryce slapped on a roof rack, added some lights, dropped a raspberry bomb in the interior, cut the fenders to fit the tires, and transformed a wrecked Mercedes into a rally warrior. By his words, it proves you can build a rally car for less than $1,000 USD and that you definitely don't need money to have fun.
