No updates, these things take time like a decent scotch smile

Probably should give them a call and pay them some money at some point… smile

Whilst the paint is keeping pace with glacier movements I’ve bought a little treat to keep the motivation up.

It’s a custom 917 style knob with a hint of Viper green, engraved with the 915 shift pattern and with a collar to suit the 901 shifter my car has.

Can’t wait to see it in the finished interior smile

It’s made by builtbybasil (look him up on Instagram)
He makes absolutely anything you can imagine. Send him an idea and it’s done smile and at a very reasonable price.

I can't wait to see this thing in Viper Green...definitely my fav...followed by Maritime Blue... returning this to its original colour (VG) is definitely a great decision.

Well this is nice, no it’s not green yet, but it’s one colour for the first time in a very long time! Epoxy, high build and flat is done.

Unfortunately the photos also arrived with the first invoice, but hey nothing comes for free smile





Better think about making some space in the garage…

Well, I think it’s fair to say this thing is going to be bright!



Just got the paint sample through for approval. Not that I’ve anything to compare it to, but it looks good smile
Almost the same colour as the grass smile
