tools? advertisement? misc liquids (gas, cleaners, oil, lube, sealant, coolant, etc)? engine stands/cherry pickers? outlets, extension cords, droplights? jacks and jackstands? haynes/chiltons books or a computer broken full of how-to's, torque specs and sequences, etc?
there's lots to need to run a shop.

Re: Anybody have their own shop on here?
ok i should have illaberated earlier... i have all the tools i need... My profession use to be a welder... i have all the "liquids"... I own the shop... it is my personal garage... im not renting out a place... so all the basics are there... and there will be no additional bills really than what i have now so i wont have to worry about making ends meet at first... I have built a few ls/vtecs and a few junkyard turbo kits... the work is easy.. i know im capable except for tuning which i know is a big part of it which is why my friend with the uberdata is helping.. he has tuned dozens and dozens of cars in the area...
