The narrative unfolds with a blend of technical insight and automotive passion, highlighting the dedication and craftsmanship involved in each conversion project. Chen's exploration of the workshop's innovative approach sheds light on the vibrant car culture in Malaysia and the enthusiasts driving these remarkable transformations.
