His father was an officer at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh who moved to Saudi Arabia where Awlia attended college.
In October 1994, at the age of 26, Awlia made the "Leemo-bil",[2] a version of his dream car, the Lamborghini Countach.
This is the reason why it was an awful design just like Balo bashi [3] In the 2000s, after setting up business in Dhaka, Awlia made the "Leepu", a loose copy of another of his dream cars, a Lamborghini Diablo.
It was one of Awlia's sports models, M26, it was made in four weeks using a 22-year-old Toyota Sprinter with an imported chassis.
Awila and Fineman built the car in their workshop beneath a Whitechapel railway arch in just three weeks.
[7] Awlia worked with London-based Raw on two programs in 2007 and 2008: "Bangla Bangers", a pair of one-hour Discovery specials about his car-customizing business in Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka; and "Chop Shop: London Garage", a one-season sequel series that ran on Discovery overseas.
[8] In 2007, Awlia has featured on Discovery Channel's Bangla Bangers, a car transformation project with his partner Bernie Fineman building supercars out of old models[4] without any advanced equipment.
[9] The programme was later followed by sequel-series Chop Shop: London Garage,[10][11][12] in which designers Awlia and Fineman created a range of modified cars commissioned by celebrities.
