Setting Up New Workshop - Where?

[Col-GTSX]

I live near brendale... heaps of industrial space there and cheap too...

also an AWESOME pie shop on the corner next to the IGA...

second that motion col, its an awesome shop.

Brendale has gone crazy, so many new building goin up around that estate, drive through there every morning on my way to work

looking at one inthe same complex as allstar tuning and rotary motorsport. terms are whats killing me on these though.

having to outlay $11K straight up is not easy to do. add to that I want 1+2 and most want 2+1 or 3 yrs solid. this is fun

jesus there are some units in brendale. went for a 2 hr cruise last night and found 10 in the space of 30 min. one of which I CAN do if the lease terms are good. its on a major main road as well.. here's hoping.

I'll drop by your shop once you find a spot, I'm getting a GTR, and want to get a laser parking system installed, and possibly audio gear in the future, best of luck finding a place.

I'm talking to the agent monday arvo. my goal is to sort this within a week and spend a week moving things across. - we'll see.

[Chris Rogers]

TAKE 2!

4/128 Sth Pine Road Brendale (behind JR turk next to solomons carpets across from the truss building factory). its cheaper btw! gave a letter of intent to the agent today.

[Col-GTSX]

good spot...

[Chris Rogers]

make it worth my while (It will cost me $19k/yr once I sign on the dotted line.)

[Col-GTSX]

ill let you play with my wires anytime chris...

ohhhh that sounded dirty...

[Dan_B]

nice and easy to get too also.

Same complex that Hart transmissions is in if i remember correctly?

[Chris Rogers]

I know there are a few automotive workshops in the area. I looked at 6 others in the area and those were either tucked off the main road or shells with nothing in them.

I thought this was in a good spot so I went for it.

[Chris Rogers]

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

(the owner of the building took my proposal!! 2yrs + optional year)

stay tuned. I have signage to sort out before I do anything further.

Congrats Chris.

[Col-GTSX]

hey hey, great news...

[Chris Rogers]

still have to get over the signage hurdle. no point setting this up the way I want if I can't get a sign out front. 90% of business will simply drive past..

but yes its an accomplishment I'm proud of

(its taken almost 8 yrs to pull off!)

[Col-GTSX]

let me know once your in, would love to swing by with some morning tea + a brewed coffee and catch up

+1 I would be up for that too Col. Congrats Chris it's been a long time coming. Start brainstorming for your opening specials!

[Chris Rogers]

already working on that. ( it won't be anything too dramatic - still have rent to pay.)

considering having a open day once I get things sorted.

[TTT]

I'd say a grand opening BBQ is required.

in for steaks.
