00:00From bumper to tail, mirrors to wheels, there's no mistaking that these coin-coated 1998 model
00:22Chevrolet Camaro is indeed the pride of the Emirates.
00:25I heard that last year, the 40th National Day is going to be a big time celebration.
00:31So that time I planned that let me do something to celebrate along with all UAE nationals
00:37that I have to do something very unusual.
00:41The commemorative car was coated with 33,000 brand new coins amounting to 21,000 dirhams.
00:48The most interesting part is most of the people have never ever seen 5, 10 and 1 fills.
01:02It's there on the car.
01:04Javed, a Pakistani who works in the automobile industry, blew the first coin on October 2010
01:11and continued for the next 3,000 hours.
01:13The most difficult thing was the roof, making of the United map.
01:18Because I had to make the map very, very correct.
01:22You have seen head and tail, head and tail, alternate.
01:25You will not find one mistake here because whenever I fix the coin, I used to study.
01:31I used to spend time that everything is done correct.
01:34Even one angle down, I used to fix the angle as well.
01:37There were times where you had to bend down in a very uncomfortable position to put the
01:42coin, especially under the bumper and at places where it's pretty hard to reach.
01:48Looking at his age and also after doing all that work, your body does get tired, but he
01:53kept going on.
01:54You know the type of fertile mind he has, maybe he can come up with another unique idea.
02:01He can work on it and he has all the best wishes from our side.
02:06The heavyweight project came with tons of lessons.
02:09Patience, accuracy, calculation, everything was a matter for me as well.
02:17Javed hopes to enter his masterpiece in the Guinness World Records.
02:21It will be on display for the National Day celebrations until it finds its permanent
02:26home, a museum in the UAE.
