Restoration shop? I'm jelly...

>>17234351
nice, are you the dude that had a job at another shop where the owner would verbally berate you?

>>17234380
No. I've been trying for 5 years to get into a place like this. Get your own restoration shop to work at.

Pretty much a restoration shop/repair work on classic British cars.

>>17234393

Cool, so that shop will never go out of Business hah.

But sounds and looks cool my dude. Would love to work at a similar shop but with air cooled Porsches.

That's literally my non-fictional dream job

Like I said, 5 years of trying to finally get it.

Make good relationships with the customers and especially suppliers/parts sources. Working at a shop like this you will meet these people who run hole in the wall operations that do top notch work rebuilding/fabricating old parts that you'll never find anywhere else. If you ever want to do your own thing someday that's what you need, there's lots of people that can fabricate/repair/paint etc. decently but not a lot of people that will know who can grind a cam for a Lancia when that outfit isn't even on the internet. We're in another classic car boom and the economy is doing great right now so there's tons of work but it's feast or famine a lot of time for restoration shops, when the economy is slow there's not a lot of people that want to spend $50k restoring a car that will be worth $30k when it's done. If you build up your own reputation/network though you can always get your own thing going.

Or if I'm good enough and there long enough, buy the business when the owner is ready to sell.
