The car was said to be out of use for quite a number of years and had been abandoned before this talented auto mechanic picked it up. Although as at the time of pick up, the rust on the car was minimal, it sure has been out of use for long.

The car was mounted on a land cruiser chassis and fitted with very nice off-road tyres, the engine was also upgraded to turbo diesel.

Prior to mounting it on the land cruiser chassis, the whole interior has been refurbished all within a time frame of three months. It was given the best touches possible and made ready to hit the road again in a more beautiful, comfy, and fashionable manner.
