I would see if there is another close by. I think that those uneven floors are gonna be a massive pain in the ass plus big ramps will limit place.

Brian Buskey

Big hell no to that shop. Unless you’re going to buy it, level out the floors, install a septic/hook up to city sewer and add water. It’s way too big of a project and you’re going to hate it shortly after you rent it.

Murray Authement

Just my thoughts. Seems to be a lot of expensive fixes in a building that you would be renting. It would be different for sure. The room on the right side seems like a tight fit for storing cars. I could see a future in this building. Plenty of space and potential for shop improvement videos.

it's got character but needs too much investment for a rental property

Kevin Bourlier

the fact that your office is black cause an optic illusion, before you touch it I was convicted it was much bigger! I really like the shop, of course it need a lot of work and there will be a time with no car content, but frankly, a series of video with the renovation of this shop could be nice! but like you said, if there are other options, you need to see them!

Anthony.Palermo_

it's okay but it needs too much work so it's a no for me

Michal Pospíšil

It looks great, but also bad. I would wait and compare to other shops.

Lucifer MicAngle

It’s a lot of work and with a lot of potential I would wait and see what you can find but if you can somehow work out a “RENT TO OWN” kind of deal with the owner all the modifications would be justifiable since in the long run the shop will eventually end up being yours

Matt Cayton

The uneven flooring makes me super upset lol. That place would be killer if it was one slab of concrete. I would compare to others. Even if the shop is smaller than this one it’ll be worth not having to do so much just to get it to a point where you can work out of it. Like you said unpacking is the worst make it easy on yourself!

Brian Rice

Big no on the shop. It's going to be super uncomfortable to work in. It's poorly constructed as well. Please don't. It needs a ton of very expensive repairs and fixes.

If you could level out the floor it would be interesting. But I don't recommend you paying for it, but the landlord, since it is not your property.

Daniel Salyer

Yeah not worth it as a rented property. Way too big of a project. Getting a place that's turn-key makes more sense for your situation I think.

Andrew Becker

It's a hard pass for me, It'd need A LOT of work to be functional, and to spend that kind of time and money on someone else's property that you're just renting just doesn't make sense. It would be better to just buy a small plot of land and build a barn with running water lol.

Ethan Dove

I don’t think u should do it if your renting it

Conner

That seems like way too much work and way to much money invested which most of you can make content on considering this is a car channel not a construction channel. And it’s a rental...no thank you. And I know damn well that floor layout is gonna be a hugeee pain. If a car doesn’t run u gotta push it uphill...no.

Conner

The uneven flooring and th posts are gonna be an absolute pain in the ass. And the side area is way to narrow and it needs wayyy too much expensive work

Konrad Leśniak

It's definitely an interesting option. Something I'd consider if you were to buy it or agree a payment plan with the landlord. It needs too much work and it wouldn't even be your own place. The uneven flooring would be a nightmare tho. It'd take you several minutes to get a car on the lift if it was on the highest level and you'd quickly get tired of it. The fab room area is perfect. The side storage area seems too narrow to store cars there, you could put a paint booth there if you'd like in the future. It has lots of potential. If I were you I'd highly consider buying it for a fair price but look for other shops close by and maybe you'll find a better one. The decision is yours and I'm sure it'll be a good one 👌🏼

Shane Aiken

Not sure if this was already commented but you could always get a quote for a well? If you run it through the landlord than you might get something worked out?

Paul Easter

I like it man. Location is huge, you cant beat being that close to home. I wouldn't even be mad if all you did for a bit is work on the shop instead of cars. Maybe work something out with JT to discount rent for all the work you end up doing to it. Although, I wouldn't even consider it if you cant get water somehow, try working something out with JT to make that part of the lease. If the price is right go for it.

Mark Sutton

Al depends on your budget. I see $50000 disappear like that. Can you get 3 phase electrical for your Bridgeport? You k ow you need one.

Jay R Hensley

I instantly fell in love with it. The floor leveling is a bit weird but I think it's doable if you keep a lift on the bottom level. It is a big fixer upper but it seems to be something you enjoy doing. I loved the bus build so I would love watching a shop build. The major plus is all the space and land. I also like how it's do close to the house. Good reason to buy a pit bike or something similar. Unfortunately the house is rented and the shop would be for rent. I'd see about maybe purchasing the shop. It's a big gamble but could potentially bring in a huge return on investment. It's best to continue shopping but I like this option as long as you can purchase it.

Benjamin Picknell M667 TJN

If you are allowed to it would be a great idea to cut one of the sides of the floor so its a slant, less scrapping on the ramps then

Tommy Johnson

It’s a very cool space but the work needed for something you don’t own, I don’t see it being a great investment.

loubé eyoum

it's huge and unique for sure but I don't know if it's worth it when compared to all the time and money you'd have to put into it to bring out its potential

Daxton Koester

Too much needed. No water is a dealbreaker.

Michael Borini

The only positive I see here is the location. Keep looking

WOPC Dynamo

Exactly what i think if he would buy it it´s a cool option, for rent i would scrap it an search for other options.

Connor Crowley

Not a fan of the shop, I would look around some more if I were you. It might be a farther drive, but I think it would be worth it considering you don't have to throw money at a building you don't own.

gary paine

Its a no from me sadly. With all the issues with it you would have to fix and with the investment you would spend and would not get out as its a rental is a big bummer. Another factor which put me off is it seems that it was being pushed hard by the new guy (cant remember his name).

Andrew

exactly. The building is viable, and would be great, but not for renting. Buying it would allow for a level of customization that could get around almost all the issues that we see with it.

Pietro Ghedini

Looks like a money pit honestly, but that's just my opinion
