PROJECT RE-Zu. part out damaged, unwanted, or blown Isuzu's. Build online only customer base & shipping

A crazy idea for sure. I have rented a shop space for working on our vxsport. I was able to rent a building about 5x what i needed. So I have a small office for the kids to play safely. We have a restroom, water, and heat.

Awesome.....

Doing much the same, only on a personal "Stash" level....
...with the wreck I purchased.

I dont have the room for tons of inventory...
...but the wreck will 'donate' years and years of "bits" for the ORW.

I think you will be providing an invaluable service as parts become harder to source....

..GOOD ON YA!

This is a great idea. I have thought MANY times about doing the same thing. I hope you are successful. In my mind I never really though of it as something I could profit from, so I hope you do well!

I have been a fan of Isuzu since the early 90's. I have had an Isuzu in the driveway most of the those years, and the last few daily drivers of mine, died and were parted out in my garage. I like helping peopple too. So these all led to our curent project.

Time will tell ... blood, sweat, and tears is what it takes these days.
