56split Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Great build, I really covet that kit car and feel like I've cheated just turning up a week before it's sprayed! It's been a good read this evening and wish you the best of luck. Very jealous...did I say that already? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a few bits delivered - don't know if I'll use the pegasus logo yet, but wanted to have it as an option. Frustratingly you can only seem to get the Speedster badges in gold as opposed to the silver Porcshe badges I'd already bought, so my OCD made me get them all in gold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topbox Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 The gold badges would look very well on the dark red paint, without doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't like it so sent it back to go for another colour 🤣 Not really - just nothing to report yet! Once I get it back home I'll post some photos for judgement day Ideally need it back by next weekend as I've got a free couple of days, so can get concentrate on making it drivable again! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 He's good at this keeping us hanging by a thread thing. And @timbobalobox, to think you were concerned at the reception you'd get on the forum for converting a 'perfectly good' 987 way back at the start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbobalobox Posted March 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Good news/bad news... Good news - I've been to the painters and seen it after the colour and lacquer (x 3 coats) has been sprayed on, and I'm really happy. It looks a lot better in the flesh than I had imagined They're now going to 800 grit sand the top lacquer coat off then polish before it comes back which is... The bad news - it probably won't be by the weekend, which means I have to continue with painting the house 🤦♂️ Also the wheels are delayed, which whilst I won't be driving anywhere any time soon, would be nice to get it all together I do have some photos if folk want to see, or wait until it's back with the lights etc in?
