This is pretty cool. Talk about gumption and taking an initiative. If more people made this kind of effort to achieve their goals, just imagine how different things might be.
Kazakhstan Auto Mechanic Builds a Rolls-Royce
Ruslan Murkanov doesn’t have enough money to buy a Rolls-Royce Phantom. So he built one instead.
According to Russian media, the 24-year-old auto mechanic from Shahtinsk, Kazakhstan, knew he wanted the $300,000 car, but didn’t make nearly enough money to cover the price tag. Using his own knowledge, mechanics tools, and an old Mercedes E-Class, Murkanov set about constructing his dream car.
Having received the Mercedes through connections in Germany, Murkanov took out the parts he didn’t need, replaced them with parts to mimic those of a Rolls-Royce, and after much hard work, his Mercedes Rolls was born.
