I'm happy to say that after (what seemed) a long year or so my white 2.5 Pi is off for restoration, well the underneath anyway. It wasn't due to go until next year, but due to a quiet spell (lack of work) my friend at Triumphland has offered his services
I informed him that he needs to be VERY understanding when I said 'it needs a lot of work to the underneath'. Fortunately on inspection, Gary says it's saveable
So hopefuly, I should be posting a few development pictures on here during the next six weeks or so.
Here's a couple of pics of my Pi after we dropped it off, and popped my very good friends Dolomite Sprint on the trailer that had just been fully restored, for the journey back:
