Bangla Bangers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bangla Bangers, also called Chop Shop: London Garage, is a reality program on Discovery Channel about an eccentric Bangladeshi car designer (Leepu) and a straight talking Cockney mechanic by the name of Bernie Fineman. In every episode they try to make a supercar from a trashed car, and transform it into a dream-car.
Leepu, whose real name is Nizamuddin Awlia, converts rusting old cars into imitation Ferraris, Lamborghinis and limousines in his small workshop in Dhaka, Bangladesh. What makes these episodes notable is that the cars are built in a small garage using only basic tools and the bodywork is hand cut and shaped using sheet metal. With the help of the mechanic (Bernie Fineman) the improvements are sometimes remarkable.
