In the videos and photos, a child turns scrap metal into his dream car

A boy from South Africa fulfilled his dream of driving his own vehicle, after he was able to turn scrap metal into a car.

Obanking Tetili, 17, said that the boy had been repairing cars since childhood, helping his father repair cars, and then he began collecting scrap metal since 2018, including bicycle wheels and other spare parts.

He added that his father bought him a used "scooter" to finish his project and it worked. "Nobody helped me because I wanted to see if I could do it myself, and the only thing my father taught me was welding and repair."

This is not the first car that Teteli makes, as videos show him riding two cars he made himself, and the boy opened his metal car cover in one of the clips to show the engine he had built using a "scooter" engine. He also revealed that his car contains a radio and indicated that he used recyclable materials. Like coffee cans.

Obanking published his achievement through his personal account on the social networking site "Facebook", where he said: "I could not wait and buy a car after finishing school, so I built it, and my dream is to proudly produce a South African car one day." And the boy designed the car in the form of a truck Small, it is made up of bicycle parts, sheet metal, and a motor, which have been welded together.
