Hahha, cleanliness and organization is a big priority in our shop. We have trolleys where each mechanic stores their tools. You can see them in the pictures, they're the red ones. The trolley follows the mechanic around and all the tools, equipment, etc that the mechanic uses are stored there. We also have a tool room with a tool man in the back, kinda like a tool depository where mechanics can go to "borrow" the more specialized tools or larger equipment needed. You can also see the tool room in the far back in some of the pictures. Keeps thing organized and clean. Yeah, we're that OC. This is also to make sure that every tool is accounted for once a job is done, just to make sure a mechanic doesn't "forget" to return a tool and take it home with them. :)

My partner also created a thread of our shop on r3vlimited. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=241256

$3,800 usd includes the strip down, paint, rebuilding on the car with new parts and includes all other labor work done on the car. However, this doesn't include the reupholstering of the interior seats, since that was outsourced, which came out to around 40,000 pesos, around $930 usd (parts and labor). The $3,800 usd price doesn't include the price of the parts. The price of the parts are pretty much the same price that you guys would pay in the USA.

Yes, the fuel lines were replaced with Goodyear E10 complaint lines and the brake lines were actually replaced with UUC stainless steel brake lines. I may have missed taking pictures of that replacement. Sorry! :D

Glad I was able to entertain you, as Homer Simpson would say, I suppose you call that 'info-tainment"? hahaha
