Now this part will blow you away he purchased the building for $NZ75,000 or in your money $US54,500.00..the down side is that the land is lease hold but he has a lease for 50 years with the land owners at $750 a year. It is in an older part of town but most of the surrounding buildings have apartments in them and a large hotel is being built on the next street over.
It looks like we are going to use one complete floor for RC racing including a offroad course so we can hire Slashes to local kids to get them into the hobby..there will also be an onroad carpet track. The shop area itself will also include an area where restorations and repairs are undertaken. We are going to build a shelf version of each car, then part out the thousands of parts we have on ebay. That's where I come into it I will be running the shop and loading the parts onto ebay as well as serving customers and ordering stock...this will be by far the biggest RC centre in New Zealand. It is in an ideal position beside the cutural museums and close to the port where the cruise ships berth.
Anyway I've included a couple of pictures of the vintage stuff stacked up (there are 3 rooms like this) and of the shop itself.
