HE discovered his God given talent in his childhood and in 2015 he turned his hobby into something which earns him some extra cash.
Elden Coetzee from Haddon designs wire vehicles of all kinds for the people of the south to buy. The vehicles are made of wires, toy-parts, Christmas tree lights and other scrap material. Some of his vehicles have installed lights and number plates.
He makes trucks, vans, taxis, cars and trains with all these materials which he scrapes together and in a week he makes about eight cars if he has enough material. These he sells for between R500 and R800 each, depending on which car the client needs.
“Designing and making these wire vehicles is not my full-time job. I have a job that keeps me busy. Wire vehicles are my talent which no one can take away from me. In the next coming years I want to see this business of mine as one of the best in southern areas,” said Elden.
He is teaching some youngsters how to make these vehicles. He is yet to make money that will put a smile on his face from these wire vehicles but hope prevails that he will get the support and customers that he needs.
If people want to buy his wire vehicles he can be reached on 083 208 5217.
