not sure about the color

Amazing work - the new owner will be a very lucky guy. It looks that good I am currently in the UK in Sheffield I am tempted to come look at it!

And a few more detail shots for your enjoyment.

The big build will start in the New Year; we're hoping to have Kermit ready to display at the March RS trackday at Oulton Park.

A few more photos of the freshly painted Kermit in the shop with more natural lighting.


Lurking in the back corner of the workshop is a little 1979 911SC which we have just finished restoring the bodywork - inspite of a previous "restoration" around 6 years ago which left it with holes appearing in the front wings and a rotten kidney bowl & quarter panel. Before anyone asks, the colour is Talbot Yellow which is pretty rare from what I can gather & the interior is light brown and tartan.
