Emmanuel Geraldo, a self-taught mechanic from Ghana, used his resources to construct a car after dreaming about the vehicle's design.

The 28-year-old Accra-based craftsman revealed that he made over GH¢10,000 from the sale of five of his personal bikes, which he used to finance his ambition of building an automobile.

In early September 2022, the determined young man sold his bikes and invested the monies into building his car.

''I built the spinning machine, including the boxes, myself,'' he told Zionfelix.

Geraldo revealed that he started fixing broken bikes and scooters at an early age when mechanics repeatedly failed to repair his scooter permanently.

After paying for it repeatedly, he decided to remedy the issue and was successful. He said he began mending other people's damaged bikes before building his own car.
