Finally Moving Forward With 275

275 is now in the safe hands of Pumabuild where she will be restored back to her former glory and added to the list of many FRPs that have been there. Looking forward to watching the progress and excited for when it returns home so we can finally get to enjoy our FRP when the rain stops and the better weather arrives.

How ya doing?
Our woes were caused by 1 ongoing issue that should have been a simple fix. Our mechanic outsourced one thing because he was doing the other mechanical work and to be fair it was a reputable company he always uses but they struggled for some unknown reason and we all regretted it! His work was spot on and the engine runs beautifully now so perhaps we were just a bit unlucky but it took the shine off for a while because as you know from CC we were thrilled to finally get an FRP. Hopefully now it is all okay but not having driven another FRP to compare it with we are getting PB to check it out while it is with them just to be sure.
They are giving the bodywork a complete going over including full respray because she has done a lot of motorway miles and is quite badly stone chipped, there are small areas of rust appearing that need effectively treating and complete wheel refurb with new tyres all round. Then I can go out and polish her everyday!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing 275 this year then. Bet you can't wait to get it back.
Mine is still under cover. It will be out for MOT at end of March then I'll be looking forward to a few meets/shows.

Thanks all for the words of encouragement and fingers crossed PB don't find anything too challenging (and expensive) to deal with as they pull 'her' apart :-(

I have chickened out of driving it home and now waiting for hubby to return - a butterflies in the stomach morning every time a car now goes past the house but if she looks as good as the pics sent yesterday I will be very happy. PLEASE do not let it rain until it's safely back on the drive
I'll put some pics sent yesterday in the gallery and see you all soon at CC
