Bangla Bangers

Anyone seen this ? Leepu and Bernie cut and chop old cars and transform them into amazing motors.

Bernie's in his 60's, he went to Bangladesh and teamed up with the younger Leepu, they came back to the UK and set up a new business modifying cars, it took a lot of bottle on Bernies' part but they've made a go of it.

Leepu is the "artist", he gets the metal cutter going and in no time transforms a car from a scrap yard into something you'd be proud to own.

It's on Discovery Turbo and I love it.

Re: Bangla Bangers

It's not a "cut-and-shut" shop like the "back-street-garage" type thing but all the cars they do are speed tested on an airfield to ensure they're safe.

Bernie's a qualified engineer and does all the mechanical work Leepu does all the body mods.

Re: Bangla Bangers

Just watched their first episode, Bernie's in Dacca with Leepu, he brought Leepu back to London with him and the little guy had tears streaming down his face as Bernie gave him a hug, he said "Bernie you've changed my life forever man".
