00:11Electrical engineer Moses Ungabeni has realized a childhood dream to build his
00:17very own sports car from scratch. While I was still a boy something came up
00:23into my mind he said one day I want to build my own sports vehicle. I saw those
00:29American sports cars like COVID and then I said one day when I grow old I want to
00:34build one and nothing can stop me. It was bent by hand the body structure shape and
00:40everything it was handmade and it's not like it's a complete workshop but if you
00:46are determined to complete your to fulfill your dream you end up doing it. By God's
00:50grace I've managed to complete my project so I thank God for that. The thrifty
00:55engineer used car parts from a number of different models and has only spent two
00:59hundred and forty thousand rands so far that's just twelve thousand seven
01:04hundred pounds or sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty US dollars. Okay the
01:09engine is a two litre engine from PMW318 IS 98 model. The glasses this small one
01:17year is from the Mazda 86 model, the door glasses are from BMW M3 E46 model 2005. The
01:26front windscreen it is from a VWK D-Baki, the front lights they are from ODT T2011 model. The rear
01:35fog lamp is from the 318 IS
01:38it was used as a brake assistance on top of the windscreen. The tail lights are from
01:42Nissan Skyline GTR 2015 model. Moses can even start the engine remotely.
01:49I'm really proud of him. I know it's a dream come true for him to build this car. It's his
01:54passion.
01:55And the supercar superfan hopes his new wheels will also make his country proud.
02:00In South Africa we don't have a model that will say it was like manufacturer
02:06designed by South Africa. I am in South Africa and I'm not doing this thing for
02:10myself. It's for the country and for my people.
