Well,

I thought I would update this to say that we are now actually up and running properly !!! WooHoo !!!

(Yes Dunc that does mean we need to sort a banner add and stuff out which Stuart is obviously well aware of !!

)

We ended up going pretty well over the top in getting the unit sorted out and bult not one but two mezzanine floors, a wall, made custom doors between the workshops, created new storage areas, fabbed our own workbenches and workstations, cleaned everything, painted everything and redid all the booth, paintroom, office and stuff. Ive managed to spend a small fortune on tools and ebay (on tools :roll: ) I now own several sprayguns which i guess is kind of fundamental and I have even sprayed my first couple of bits myself - only stands and a door handle, dont worry no-one will let me lose on a car yet !!

We have done our first little job for motoring royalty, well Steve carter from SXOC anyways !! and at the moment are sorting out a couple of other jobs, should have a load or race prep to do on a guys track car and in between times looking at the Orange which took a hit at SantaPod from some concrete barriers to hopefully be ready in time for JAE (although probably not running unless HKS pull their finger out). Im over the moon that its actually now operating and at a time when i have a chance to be there myself rather than just have peopple running it for me as it means I get to see everything evolving !! I even went out with pete the workshop manager and helped price up a car that had been hit by a truck on monday !!

Anyways, enough horn blowing from me, if anyone wants anything then feel free to call on 01206 272724 and even if ya just want to come down and be nosey then thats cool too !!

Cheers,

James.
