My town is definitely going down-hill. I've got Bars and Pubs and a Brewery and they're all a bit seedy and run-down. So when I decided to build something with a car-theme I knew it wasn't going to be an antiseptic showroom stuffed full of expensive cars. What my town needed was a Repair Shop where for a cheap price the unqualified mechanics will do their best to get you back on the road.
It's based very loosely on a real building here in Missouri that burnt down in mysterious circumstances a couple of years ago. Who knows maybe with this MOC I've solved the mystery.
There's a tumble-down old fence and a junk yard dog. The facade of the main building is crumbling and there's discolored brickwork all over the place.
Inside there's a finger operated car lift, a red-swing door (courtesy of the Apple Tree House), and shelves full of cans and tools.
If I had an expensive, Italian looking sports car I wouldn't be taking it here.
The adjacent lot is full of spare parts scattered across the broken concrete, some wheel hubs, some fenders and a Snap-on tool box.
But it does have an interior complete with Coffee Machine, Toilet and Sink - it's a bit grubby in there...
The mechanics appear to be swapping out a perfectly good Blue door for a junky Yellow one - and I'm concerned about the number of spare parts they've got left....
Here's a shot from the side, but I think they should be paying more attention to the rear of the building...
...where someone has carelessly discarded a cigarette into a trash-can full of oily rags. This isn't going to end well!
I hope you enjoyed it!
