00:15Electrical engineer Moses Ungabeni has realized a childhood dream to build his
00:21very own sports car from scratch. While I was still a boy something came up
00:26into my mind he said one day I want to build my own sports vehicle. I saw those
00:32American sports cars like COVID then I said one day when I grow old I want to
00:38build one and nothing can stop me. It was bend by hand the body structure shape and
00:44everything it was handmade and it's not like it's a complete workshop but if you
00:49are determined to complete your dream you end up doing it. By God's grace I've
00:54managed to complete my project so I thank God for that. The thrifty engineer used
00:59car parts from a number of different models and has only spent 240,000 rand
01:05so far that's just 12,700 pounds or 16,750 US dollars. Okay the engine is a
01:13two-litre engine from PMW318 IS 98 model. The glasses this small one here is from the
01:21Mazda 86 model. The door glasses are from BMW M3 E46 model 2005. The front windscreen is
01:31from a VWKD backing. The front lights they are from ODT T2011 model. The rear fog lamp is
01:40from the 318 IS it was used as a brake assistance on top of the windscreen. The
01:45tail lights are from Nissan Skyline GTR 2015 model. Moses can even start the engine
01:51remotely. I'm really proud of him. I know it's a dream come true for him to build this car.
01:58It's his passion. And the supercar superfan hopes his new wheels will also make his country proud.
02:04In South Africa we don't have a model that will say it was like manufacturer designed by South Africa.
02:11I am in South Africa and I'm not doing this thing for myself it's for the country and for my
02:16people.
02:17I am.
