special edt vw motorsport gear knob.
« on: 01 January 2009, 13:05 »
A few days ago at my local srappy i came across an old mk2 with a few nice bits on it lether gear gaiter,leather handbrake cover, old school tape box and few other things but the thing i was most happy about was a leather gear knob with a white logo in it with vw motorsport.

yesturday i spent a good 5 hours going over the project posts when i stumbbled across joes 8 valve (pukka motor that man is hardcore tidy) what ever it is now im asumming he got the engine in, in the end.

Anyway i noticed he was bragging about a special edition gear knob just like mine , he said they were rare.

Just how rare are they?...........dave :cool:

Only seen 1 of these on the bay (recently so might still be up there) and the 1 in Joe's project thread.


BTW he sold his car and it recently got trashed by a kid racing down a road in a Saxo/106 or sommat and smacking into it while it was parked up on the road over night. The story of what happened is in the VW Chat section somewhere.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

yeah they are very rare, i kept mine when i re-did the interior and still have it on the off chance i'll use it again.

thanks for the comments on my old project, alot of time went into that thing! (i'd say more like 90% was my work though :P )

the next project should be better if i ever get the time/money to start the f**k*r!

no probs m8 good job...how much did you spend in the end and have you ever thought about painting engines for a living?  and how did you spray the gti bages? did you spray them silver then do the writing or vissa versa?

god knows what i spent, not as much as people think. i guess i was quite lucky and was quite tight so only bought stuff when it was at the right price. yeah i don't want to paint engine for a livign, takes too long and very few people would pay for it. i'll stick to trimming.
the badges were just masked up and sprayed silver.
