Avocado because its green and that name just popped in my head :)

The color code its Achatgruen Metallic 177. The exterior of the car is in bad shape and im only gonna repair it and paint it after suspension and engine is taken care of.

Right now Im waiting for my friend to finish milling my DSSR linkage and a few oem parts so I can assemble the shifter ;D;D

Heres a few pics:
