The Vietnamese craftsmen over at NHET TV are always wowing people with their skills.
And this time around was no different, as they worked their magic yet again on a junkyard Nissan Maxima.

Taking a Nissan Maxima from a scrapyard and creating a hand-built Lamborghini
The project began with a discarded Nissan Cefiro – sold as a Maxima in the North American and Australian markets.
In restoration projects such as this, you might think a 3D printer would need to be brought in.
But no, NHET TV kept things simple and got the job done with a lot of elbow grease.
They cut and welded a custom steel frame by hand, shaping it to match the proportions of a Lamborghini.
They molded and fitted fiberglass panels, each one designed and made from scratch.
The end result is nothing short of remarkable.
Sure, on the inside, this car is still the Nissan that it started off as, but who would know just from looking at it?
At any rate, it was a commendable demonstration of skill and craftsmanship.
It speaks a lot to their passion and love of cars, let alone their abilities and skills.
It’s no wonder that more than two million people have subscribed to NHET TV to follow their projects.
NHET TV have done a lot of amazing work
There’s no end to the automotive wizardry of NHET TV.
You may recall that they took a $200 Toyota engine and transformed it into a $7 million Koenigsegg Jesko.
And that’s not forgetting one crucial fact – they don’t just use cars as their source material.
Oh no, we’ve seen them turn steel pipes and clay into a Bugatti.
And this Lamborghini Aventador? Made from old bicycles.
We take our collective hats off to you, NHET TV.
