The outpour of support has been incredible, guys! Thanks for the kind words! We are hoping to continue spreading the e30 gospel and running the shop the way enthusiasts would do!
@E30SPDFRK: hey, no harm no foul dude. Thealbert already summed up why we did what we did, and it is what it is. Freedom of opinion is one of the things i love about r3v (though my post count is a paltry 90-something despite wandering around r3v for 3 years or so).
@Kershaw: you're just as surprised as we are! The guy literally rolled in, said "hi, i just saw your shop as i was passing by, and i need to get this rolls royce fixed up." the L-series engine is one of rolls-royce's own (pre-BMW ownership), and its a fairly simple engine that uses a bosch k-jetronic system (like the early e30s and e21s). Even though none of us have ever worked an a roller before, it looked like a straightforward enough job, though we did take a bit longer than usual working on it just to make sure its done right. Yu never know what surprises pop up when working on an old brit car. It's done now, and after a bit of detailing work, th eowner will pick it up this weekend.
@Mlarsen: thanks! My brother runs a construction company, and he and his partner suggested the lighting system. It's inspired by the overhead frames from F1 pitlanes, and more importantly, it really gets the lighting right on top of the cars.
@bernzpeed: i'll be contacting you soon, man. Got a few thing i need for my own e30 project. :)
@ethrtyiS: Sign me up! In fact, Thealbert is in CA right now. Maybe we can have a few shipped to him and he can send it over to manila. Hell, who do i ask about putting a r3v sticker on our e30s? R3V philippines represent!
@dude8383: Havent met justin yet, but like i said earlier, if any r3v guys are in manila, just drop by and hang out for a bit!Comment

We also do automotive detailing and car washing that deal with a lot of water. Our detailers have to get inside the cars of customers, and that usually means getting water from their wet feet all over a customer's interior. It was logical for them to wear slippers (Crocs) instead since it would be easier for them to get in and out of cars without transferring all the dirty water from the ground to the customer's nice clean carpet or around other parts in interior. It would also be easier for the detailers to clean up and avoid having water soaked socks if their feet were to get wet. For that reason, slippers was the best way to go for these employees.
However, if you notice, the mechanics working on the cars that have to deal with tools, parts, etc, are all wearing shoes. No mechanic can work on a mechanical problem of a car or get near a car with a mechanical problem unless they're wearing shoes. And don't worry, we have segregated and designated areas for detailing and mechanical work so our guys with slippers won't need to go near the mechanical work bays. Safety always come first. :)Last edited by thealbert; 03-14-2012, 06:19 PM.Comment

Beautiful shop! Very nice to see top notch work being done in the PI...
The modifications to those cars are subtle, which isn't a bad thing. Very clean and appropriate to say the least!John Anthony

Detailing the Z8.
Here are a couple of pictures of a Z8 being detailed. We made sure to get all the nooks and crannies cleaned up!
We also did a full service on the car as well, including a brake upgrade (will post details on that soon). :)
Wheels off, getting cleaned.
