Ep 2. AUTO TIENDA + ELEANOR

Mexico is known for its vibrant automotive culture, and the Mexicanicos team is passionate about keeping that culture alive. In the second episode of the third season, "AUTO TIENDA + ELEANOR," the team takes on two exciting projects that showcase their dedication to vintage cars and customization.

The first project takes place at a unique auto shop called Auto Tienda. This shop specializes in restoring and selling classic VW Beetles, and the Mexicanicos team is excited to work with them on a unique project. The team wants to turn a 1975 Beetle into a custom off-road vehicle that can handle anything thrown its way.

To accomplish this, the team starts by stripping the Beetle down to its bare bones. They remove the doors, roof, and backseat to make room for a custom roll cage and off-road suspension. They also replace the stock engine with a more powerful one capable of powering the car through rough terrain.

Once the mechanical changes are complete, the Mexicanicos team turns to the exterior of the car. They add a custom paint job that incorporates the Beetle's iconic shape and give it a rugged off-road look. They also add a set of big, knobby tires that can handle any terrain.

The finished product is a one-of-a-kind off-road Beetle that's sure to turn heads wherever it goes. The Mexicanicos team is proud to have worked with Auto Tienda on this unique project and hopes it inspires others to get creative with their classic cars.

The second project featured in this episode is a true classic - a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback. This iconic American muscle car is one of the most popular vintage cars in the world, and for good reason. The Mexicanicos team is excited to work on this particular Mustang because it's already a showstopper - but they're confident they can make it even better.

The team starts by focusing on the car's engine, swapping out the stock engine with a high-performance one that can really make the Mustang fly. They also add a custom exhaust system that gives the car an aggressive growl.

Once the mechanical changes are complete, the team turns to the car's exterior. They want to give it a look that's both classic and modern, so they decide to turn it into a replica of the iconic "Eleanor" Mustang from the movie "Gone in 60 Seconds."

To accomplish this, they make a few subtle changes to the car's exterior, including adding custom body panels and a unique hood. They also paint the car in a high-gloss silver and black color scheme that really makes it pop.

The finished product is a stunning tribute to one of the most famous movie cars of all time. The Mexicanicos team is thrilled with how the Mustang turned out and hopes it inspires others to get creative with their own vintage car projects.

Overall, "AUTO TIENDA + ELEANOR" is an exciting episode that showcases the Mexicanicos team's passion for vintage cars and creativity when it comes to customization. Whether you're a fan of off-road Beetles or classic Mustangs, there's something to love in this episode.
