Well I'm kinda in need of another way to pass my time since this town is like really boring and all, would you happen to need a clerical type person ^.^ :P I have a certification in accounting

 

i do work for lots o ppl, its kinda my job, side job and hobby. i charge 30 an hour, and it pays well. anything from paint to motors, just no trannys, they suck, i dont have a hoist. rose just come way north, i can get ya 16-18 an hour for working on cars, or 14 for clerical.

 

hey shady, once my Z is finally reliable in my eyes (with or without megasquirt) and fresh paint and clean interior, how much would you be able to sell my car for up there.... nice clean turbo S30.

and 260turbo, im in school to be a pilot. lol. dont plan on leaving it, i need to crack down on learning my ground though.

 

your car? prolly 7500ish, maybe more, ya never know, go on buysell.com, go to the british columbia section and take a look. the rust free cars up here go for good coin. i know i cant afford them

 

Hey snw, do you install front air dams or bumpers?

 

wow, prices between north and south are like waaaaaaaaaaay different. Down here that car MIGHT fetch like 3-4K, and i get payed 7.70 hr for working on cars and 5.50 for clerical, i'm sooooooo trying to move north :P

Snw, then again just working on cars with friends or for friends and stuff as a side income or just a hobbie would be cool too, no?

 

yeah, its just a side thing, i dont expect it to turn into a reall liek garage and bussiness you know. but never know. lol.

mike, im sure i could install a front airdamn, i wasl going to do it myself, ive done bodykits and such, an i do believe the Xenon would be fairly bolt on. send me a picture of teh top/mounting spot for it id be interested to see what it looks like.

 

some hd mechs up here earn 35 an hour. i get 22 an hour, aboot 40,000 a year. and i dont have a tq. if i had one, id earn 27/hr. i can get any aspiring mech a job at kal tire in abbotsford starting at 14, (no experiance) and the money goes up from there. we are very short ppl to employ up here.

 

Wow, i am sooooooooooo in the wrong end of this country, meh

 

canada isnt this country.... LOL !!!! im sure you know but i needed to point that out. and yeah your getting crappy money for mechanic work.

 

yeah canada is just america north with crappy health care?!?

 

I'm just kinda curious snw, you can do both body and mechanical, or just mechanical? i was just asking because i read something like way earlier about body kits

 

im staying right here in the crapy desert with my crappy $22 an hour job..

 

so i was at work making my business cards and this is the finished product, made them in photoshop. i cleaned up some faded areas on my car photoshoped the trim off the car and filled in the holes in the bumper that are there for mounting junk. they are double sided. whatcha all think? and i kinda ripped off the name of the business a little bit... just a little

BACK:


FRONT:



and yeah.... i dont really "specialize" in **** ut they are the only cars i can do anything on basicaly. well so far anything. no one but me an dmy dad have touched either of our cars. and my dads only screwed with my wiring sooo yup!

 

Might want to spend a lil more time on those.

 

2nd........

and maybe a new, more professional email address. they ARE free.

oh, everybody prank call snw now!!!

 

Snw, don't know if this helps any but here are pics of the front of the Z and the air dam itself. The air dam is gonna have to be altered as the openings for the turn signals are clearly not long enough....

 

looking at that i think i can already see how it mounts, pretty simply lol... we might have to work on those signals to but meh, no biggy


and yeah, i should do a new e-mail. other than that, what the hell else should i spend more time on? i want the card simple but detailed in teh background pic. suggest stuff before the cards get sent out/finalized.

 

Have you ever seen a business card before??? Professional ones don't have "white, simple, program default fonts" nor do they just have a simple driveway pic as the background.








You could also benefit from a logo other than "Z" Have you never taken a business, art, or media class???

 

Snw, I was photoshopping and decided to make a lil card....



By all means you don't need to do anything like this, but do go ahead and use your imagination.

 

thats actually pretty good, but i wanted to incorperate cars i actually worked on. lol, otherwise it kinda seems.... fakeish lol. alright ill see what i can do.

 

Ok, Mr. Snow, here's my input on this new business. I am pushed for time and tried to read most of the posts here, but if I missed some of the relevant content, I apologize.

Advertising Issues
If you want to work on cars owned by your family or friends, that's fine, but to advertise with a business card or any other advertisement, it will require a ficticious name or corporate registration with the Secretary of State and business license (sometimes 2 licenses if you live within the city limits and county).

Liability Issues
Whether you establish a business lawfully or illegally, if you use your parents' residence to perform these services, they may be liable for problems concerning your services. That's something you might want to discuss with them before establishing a business on their property.

The above is just a very short summary of my initial concerns. I have many others, but won't go into them right now ... awaiting your feedback on what I've mentioned thus far.

 

you want my feedback? YOU RUIN EVERYTHING!!!!! thats my feedback. lol. its not a real bussiness and im not like advertising i got 250 business cards i can get and will dispense them as i feel proper. i dont plan on doing any work that would make liability concerns like welding or anything extravagent. and its not a real real business lol. i knew of a guy that did this same thing out of his house for years my dad used to take some of his cars to (no Z's just normal dumb cars) never heard anything bad happen to him. i think people will understand im not a serious/large business when they see its at a house so while i will basically garuntee my work since its not going to be stuff i'd have to worry about, i also dont plan on giving warranties unless its obviously something i did which even then i would catch it before i would give the car back.

 

So why would people want to come to you???

 

cause people are stupid. DUH! havent you ever worked in some sort of retail business? i know you worked at a bodyshop, you know people are stupid. lol. plus ill be the closest thing that knows about Z's other than ultimateZ and tehy seem to be focusing on Z32's
