Inside Arslan's "new home"
The former passenger seat now serves as extra storage space, housing his gym bag, toolset, window covers, a fire extinguisher, and solar-powered batteries that provide electricity.
Arslan's self-designed "fully operating kitchen" stands out as one of the key features in his car home.
It features a mini-fridge, a sink connected to a three-gallon water tank that requires regular refilling, and a single-burner propane stove.
His resourcefulness is evident in the built-in shelves under the counter, offering additional storage options.
He fitted child safety locks on the cabinets to ensure safety while driving.
The other side of the car is dedicated to Arslan's sleeping quarters, boasting a simple yet comfortable three-inch thick, two-by-six-foot mattress.
