Hello Chris,

You may be working on her soon enough - or the brakes anyway Posted Image.

She has not been really in use for quite some while but have now gotten reassurance from Pumabuild (after a little wobble Posted Image) that her hibernation won't cause any long term issues. They are her first stop for full service, medical check up and necessary repairs if any....then the fun begins with a complete respray in Imperial Blue of course and a wheel refurb. Could I have chosen a more expensive hobby?!Posted Image


I stumbled across #135 today when getting respray quotes and had a long chat with the owner thereafter who you know, so another reassuring connection in times of need. There will be 3 FRPs residing within 4 miles of each other as of the weekend Posted Image

Hope to meet you at CC on Saturday

You would if you saw the hash someone has previously made of both bumpers on mine! Front looks like it's been pebble-dashed by stone chips after many motorway miles Posted Image and the dreaded tin worm is starting to rear it's hideously ugly head Posted Image Time for some serious action before it's too late and the car is eaten alive!!!

Btw - could 275 be added to the list of survivors as it is currently missing

I had added it, but didn't yet add updated name.
It has been edited onto my last list post.
Rust, yes tideious but worth treating, I have a long thread in the Puma Project section on the various hiding places for rust with photos.
