Website for Car Enthusiasts - Anyone do similar?

[Roughneck]

Morning (Well, is here is Australia!),

Over the past few months, I have found the need for a website providing car parts for a particular model car that has experienced a steady increase in value due to popularity over the last couple of years. There is a lack of supply here in Australia for a multitude of parts and a lot of people buying their bits from overseas because of this.

I have sourced multiple suppliers who are willing to work with me, one that has agreed to give me sole rights to sell their product line in Australia / New Zealand. I have obtained my necessary shipping costs and working through developing a price and exact product lists of what i will supply initially. I have thought that I will supply the market with another companies products, then down the track - I will start to create my own brand of products for the market where a higher profit margin can be had.

I have plenty of questions I am trying to find the answers to but thought I would ask on here if anyone else has experience in starting up and building a successful business based around the car scene?

Cheers.
