Had my first day there

Probably no need for overnight parts mate, they even had a pile of Coilovers just sitting there. D2s, Teins etc

Seriously some amount of metal there for some1 who hadnt driven a decent car over here yet was a little daunting jumping into anything never mind an different types of Auto gearbags including

S15 Hardtop droptop on REWheels,
Huge Honda 3.5 V6 Saloon.
Bitchin Turbo Stagea,
Some Auto Skyline 350GT 4 door I think
Class but subtle R32 GTR on Gold BBS, polished Splits
And the Big Black TRD Chaser again on diff wheels
Also tryin to Put one of those Nissan Cubes onto the Ramp at the front was a ballache

I spotted in one of the detailing bays there were stacks of JDM wheels Volks, Rays, some Advan 3spokes.
They chop and change change the wheels on most of the motors if somethings not selling change the wheels, was keepin the boss goin trying to get him to swap the Wheels on a Navy/Silver RX-7 from Gold with polished dish to the 3 spoke Advans:cool:

The spot is right beside the road so theres black dust on the cars constantly I'm in need of a good product that may help this
I got to give the 78 911 the once over started it up and near shat a brick.
The dishes on the wheels were grubby as anything aswell, and one of the Indian guys hit a door of the top of the 911, i looked at him and he just shrugged.

I'll grab some pics of some of them on my lunch tomorrow.

An asian guy came in I said to him looking anything in particular and he said "one of those in Auto"
He walked over to an Evo VIII :eek:
Tried not to laugh but we actualy have a PovertySpec Evo VII GTA aswell.

Boss then showed him a Nissan Cube Auto which I get to Prep in the morning to be sold to him WTF was he after an Evo for :rolleyes:

I'm Thinking the Nissan Elgrand Yakuza VIP Wagon M8.
There's about 10 of them in the yard and they are a c*nt to Wash for a person under 6ft

Cheers Chris there are some real nice ones but I've seen a couple of the many Evos are a bit rough around the edges botched jobs in Japland

One of the older sales guy John has a 180sx I said how much. This thing is like it was out of the factory no rust at all OEM all round $6k to me thats like 3.5k GBP for an orignal 180sx
Photo1242.jpg


The road outside the gates is actually a "Highway" 3 Lanes^to city then 4 Lanes on our side so the dust is going to be an arse.

We got delivered for prep from storage a big Black Mugen Honda Accord Tourer I think.
It was late afternoon so I didnt get a good look at it which its sold for pick up tomorrow aswell.
