A group of students in India have successfully built a car from sheer scrap spare parts

BEIJING (Scrap Monster): A group of students in India  have successfully built a car from sheer scrap spare parts.

The unique thing about the vehicle is that all the parts comes together from unconventional places. The tyre is specially manufactured in Pune, India.

The suspension is from a motorcycle. The steering mechanism is from an ambassador car. These clamps were from a junkyard and we welded them together ourselves.

And the engine from an auto rickshaw.

Built as an all-terrain vehicle, the vehicle can master the worst Indian roads.

The students started working on this in March 2011 and they spent INR .15 million on it. They attended classes in the morning and worked at night.

“We have been eating, drinking and sleeping in the workshop for the past two months to complete this vehicle,' a student said.

This February, the car heads to Indore to compete in a national race. The competition's tough. But the students aren't worried.
