There are only two things that were not made from wood in his car: the car engine that comes from a Fiat 126 and the steering wheel that came from an old Mercedes Benz. He used an old beer barrel as the fuel tank, and the frame, gears and axles are made from timber. He has built the wooden car in four months to keep him busy during winter season.
