8. PVC pipe end caps x2 100 naira

Lithium Ion battery x2 Recycled 100 naira.
Well done brother. Nice concept. Please, where did you get your batteries, I have been searching for that type of batteries. And as for this your design, you can coat the pvc pipe with duratex or any epoxy paints. You can even use speaker rug. The quality matters though
