You don’t need money to dream, you just need strong intentions and passion. The story of a small town in Jharkhand is winning everyone’s hearts on social media these days. While supercars worth crores of rupees are seen on the glittering roads of big cities, a mechanic, with his hard work and skill, transformed an ordinary car into something that left people astonished. This is a story of passion, jugaad and homegrown innovation, which proves that with strong intentions even a small workshop can become a dream factory. This video is now becoming increasingly viral on social media.
Mohammad Arif of Jharkhand did wonders
Mohammad Arif, fondly known as “Tarzan”, lives in Chandil area of Seraikela-Kharsawan district of Jharkhand. He is a car mechanic by profession. He has been working on vehicles for more than ten years. The film “Tarzan: The Wonder Car” released in his childhood awakened in his mind the dream of making a car with his own identity. This dream gradually got attached to his name and people started calling him Tarzan.
Maruti 800 converted into Lamborghini
Arif chose an old Maruti 800 to turn this dream into reality. He worked hard for two years, transforming this common car into a supercar like Lamborghini Aventador. The most important thing is that he did all this work in his small “Tarzan Garage”. There was no big factory or expensive machinery setup. From body cutting to welding, designing and finishing, he did most of the work himself.
Expenses of around Rs 4 lakh
It is said that the cost of preparing this car was around Rs 4 lakh. Some elements, like the music system, LED lights and windshield, were imported, but the rest of the changes are entirely the result of their workmanship. People are surprised just by seeing a glimpse of the car. Its aggressive supercar styling, wide and low body design, sporty two-seater interior and wide 16-inch alloy wheels give it a special look. The exhaust note while starting also gives the feel of an expensive sports car.
