Electrical engineer Moses Ungabeni has realized a childhood dream to
build his very own sports car from scratch. While
I was still a boy, something came up into
my mind. He said one day I want to
build my own sports vehicle. And I saw those
American sports cars like COVID, then I said one
day when I grow old, I want to build
one and nothing can stop me. It was burnt
by hand. The body structure, shape and everything
, it was handmade. And it's not like it's
a complete workshop, but if you are determined to
complete your, to fulfill your dream, you end
up doing it. By God's grace, I've managed
to complete my project. So I thank God for
that. The thrifty engineer. Used car parts from
a number of different models and has only spent 240,000
rand so far. That's just 12,700 pounds or$16,750
US dollars. OK, the engine, it's a
two-liter engine from BMW 318 IS 98 model. The
glasses, this small one here is from the Mazda
'86 model. The door glasses are from BMW M3
E46 model, 2005. The front windscreen, it
is from a VWKD Bakkie. The front lights,
they're from ODTT 2011 model. The rear fog lamp
is from the 318 IS. It was used as
a brake assistance on top of the windscreen. The
taillights are from Nissan Skyline GTR 2015 model. Moses
can even start the engine remotely. I'm really proud
of him. I know it's a dream come true
for him to build this car. It's his passion
. And the supercar super fan hopes his new wheels
will also make his country proud. In South Africa
, we don't have a model that will say it
was like manufactured, designed by South Africa. I
am a South African. I'm not doing this thing
for myself, it's for the country and for my 00:02:15.740 --> people.
