just catching up on this thread - looking good.

+1 on DC coachworks, they did SHR3K and the paint is fabulous!

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 :)

Knob gags incoming :)

It’s from builtbybasil (find him on Instagram),

I sent him an idea, he made it. £80 posted which I consider a bargain.

I was always told if green rings presented themselves it was time to seek medical advice

Whereas red rings just need soap and water.

Difference between gangrene and lipstick, as I believe the joke goes….
