Mystery Rotary Haven - Ponoka-ish, AB

So today on my way to Edmonton from my home in Lacombe I couldn't help but notice this rotary haven just north of Wolf Creek Golf Course. I'm new to the area so I'm curious if anybody is familiar with this location? Whether it's a shop or just a private owner with a big rotary thumb?
I'm tempted to just show up and find someone on the property to chat to as I am looking to purchase a project FB.
For the keen eye'd guy/girl, what car is the lime green one in front of what looks like an orange (edit) RX wagon? Could it be a RX3 or 4?

It's just the latest Google Street view image. Like I said I'm new to the area so I didn't know where I was when I saw the property. I knew it was somewhere between Lacombe and Edmonton so I decided to hop on the highway on Google maps and start driving (scrolling) until I saw it.
Not only did I find it but I now know the owners name and that he can probably help me out with my future rotary business.

I had my engine rebuilt there last winter. The black fd in front of the white door is actually mine haha. He has been around rotaries for a while and is very knowledgeable. His ig is 4kruzn if you want some more pictures of the vehicles and he is here on the forums too.

I found him online and had a look at his stuff. Pretty impressive. Did you have a good experience with your rebuild?

I have only driven it one season so I am not too sure about it just yet, although my first impressions are pretty good. After breaking it in and tuning it I haven't had any issues and when I parked it for the winter it was running perfectly. He's usually pretty busy so if you're getting a rebuild it may take a bit longer than expected. Overall the experience wasn't bad, a few things needed buttoning but nothing major.
