Hi all
Next year, my friend and i are going to drive to southeast asia through a number of different countries (20 odd) and terrains.
We wish to achieve this is a Nissan Micra K10 with 48,000miles on the clock and a good service history. We chose this outdated (24 years old) car so that A) less likely to be stolen

doesnt matter when it dies C) its extremely reliable D) good fuel consumption E) low mileage F) easy to fix (because basic design).
I would appreciate it if no one would outline the dangers of such a trip... we know.
We wish to strengthen and customise the vehicle before we leave.
1) Raise the car off the ground by 3 inches: is it possible? Expected costs?
2) Re-enforce the structure: is it possible? Expected costs?
3) Add Bull-bars or something similar for front protection: is it possible? Expected costs?
4) Alarm Security System: is it possible? Expected costs?
