Old SUV rerborn work

Worker drilling wood interior part at mohenoc garages in Paju, South Korea. A 20-year-old beat up Hyundai SUV isn't anyone's idea of a dream car. But used Hyundai Gallopers, priced between $2,000 to $3,000 at second-hand car markets, are making a comeback , reborn as upwards $80,000 luxury vehicles at the hand of former furniture designer Henie Kim. Kim is now the CEO of Mohenic Garages, a car rebuilding company based in Paju has transformed the boxy classic into one of South Korea's most highly-desired cars. "As a former designer, I wanted make everything perfect." The remade "Mohenic G", as they're known, take their design cues from the 1990s and come in a variety of custom colors from "mint racing green" to "midnight cerulean blue". Demand for the "Mohenic G" has steadily risen, and the waitlist is long. Since 2013, only 43 cars have been rebuilt and 48 customers are on a waiting list. Production is slow though since the company expanded, they're able to produce 30 cars a year, or about 2 cars a month. A team of two dozen workers transform each car in a meticulous process that includes prying the car cabin from its frame, sanding, removing corrosive substances, polishing and painting.
