The cars look shocking! the fact they play around/tune/replace engines is cool tho, the real talent is the from the guys that do all the filling and painting on them since usually its the whole car that needs doing:eek:

they are good as something to admire for the workmanship but never good cars. They did that MG BGT and made it very slow and ran in down in Brighton.

The BMW one is for sale on Piston heads at the minute

LMFAO lol lol lol

5" spacers FTMFW!

Also, the best part, was when they fired up an engine, on the floor, all wearing no shoes and shorts and t-shirts:thumb:

Health and safety fail FTW:cool:

I second that blue_peg. Johnny Vegas' mk2 R32 Golf should have been awesome too, but Leepu broke out the grinder once more. lol

It makes me laugh when he can't picture his 'design'. I can tell him from the off, huge boxy arches/running boards, roof chop, ill fitting head and tail lights. Done.

Can't fault the metal working skills though, especially when he was still doing Bangla Bangers. Really skilled lads with very basic tools.
I liked all of the bodging though, was a bit disappointed on the last series of Chop Shop when they discovered AVO, AP etc. lol

NO, they made one loud ferrari red thing & a hideous 2 seater thing, then they made a load of shoitters in a railway arch

They were good considering they were built manually etc in Bangladesh.

Agree the LDN railway arch ones were poor.
