good luck lad. you splitting with vortex or working together still?

 

get a few big plasma screens and some consoles. and a propper tea and coffee making set up. you could install turbo kits while the customer waits. you could have a waiting area with a big glass screen so the customers can watch someone do a bit of work. a wurlitzer jukebox and lots of rock n roll music. and lots of old signs on the wall.

what about making a burger joint. or milkshakes like the old american diner :)

 

whats the deal with the american trucks? is that what your mates into. why not do a v8 transplant in a supra. you know you want to.

Mark we actually do intend to use a Plasma in the customer entertainment area !!!!!, we will defo be going for the 'your welcome to drop in at anytime ' attitude , you will also be able to sit in the office area and watch your car being worked on , we may even put a window in the paint booth so you can see the car change colour .

We intend to hold turbo kits from Vortex in stock all the time and id like to get into mapping more hence the thoughts re the Dyno , as well as the space inside we reckon there is parking outside for around 15 supras .

The pick ups is something thats getting quite big over here my mate like them because they are like him big and loud , be handy for towing the car to the races as well .

Dude, I know it depends on how big the job is etc, but what sort of timeframe would it take to get a Supe in with you for a complete respray?

 

What I mean is, do you have to book months in advance or what?

 

Depends on what you want but yes i do seem to be at a premium , saying that the longer you can spare the car the easier it is to get it booked in , what did you have in mind ???

i hate to rush things but with the new shop and more space it all becomes easier

Hehe - what do I have in mind!?

 

I've been compiling a list of late (geeky I know!) but most of the bits on here, and more as they come along. I'll post below the list & I'll probably post it again tomorrow in a new thread with photos etc for people to give opinions etc (don't want to hijack too much!)
