Shop is under construction, as well as showroom. Showroom looks much better, building a second floor office over the bathrooms in march. As for the shop, fresh paint everywhere, dynos are getting painted, cleaning up, just going for a new look. ill be posting pictures here as it comes along and feel free to add your thaughts or ideas. As of right now we got the bananna VR4 in the showroom, kind of a big car, but looks good all waxed up.

Nice. A car in the showroom was awesome way back when VR was awesome. The new building kinda ruined it for me.
Def post pics.

new building has a smaller showroom, but that doesnt ruin it, work with what u got. shop space is WAY MORE important then showroom. of coarse u gotta have a nice looking showroom, but u need shop space more importantly

you REALLY got to get rid of some of the cars in the parking lot and it'll look much nicer outside.

workin on that... its hard to throw these cars out, i do, and then a week later someone wants the car or parts of it, or i need parts off it. lol. wish i had a bigger back parking lot, id open a DSM salvage yard in the back
Get another container in the back and hang body and interior. Use the other for engine/drivetrain.
