I've thought the store needs an overhaul for while now:-

-alot of photos need redoing really ( could use user submitted images of high quality )
-descriptions need re-writing so that they are more uniform in terms of usefulness & specifcness for that part
-subsections for specific manufacturers of parts could be lost
-expand the vehicle manufacturer list & then have subsections there-in for each particular vehicle Mike does parts for under that manufacturer
-remove extinct manufacturers and parts that are no longer stocked, such as Flextech and older Gorillamaxx stuff
-any special order items like MGM escs or larger Neu motors should be marked as special order and not just 'out of stock' permanently
-a new site header that doesnt feature a manufacturers name or vehicle, and loose the old first gen Gmaxx at the bottom of the page- its cool but you cant buy parts for it anymore (from RCM atleast).

I'd happily volunteer time towards re-doing the site, though I'd rather have direct access rather than typing up stuff up and bombarding Mike with it- given the amount of work that ideally needs doing he'd have to dedicate alot of time into implementing the updates and changes, and thats time away from the shop making parts and posting out orders.

Gotta have alot of repsect for the guy though, being pretty much a one man band and producing quality parts + having excellent customer service isnt easy, hence why he's always busy and not going broke like ChrisFine, polar opposites in terms of business models...
