my Pi off for resto

#1 Post by dallliiisss »

Hello to all,
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 :D
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 :o
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:

Blimey,you weren't exaggerating were you :shock: My hat comes off to guys like you,i wouldn't know where to start :roll: It will be interesting to see the progress. Cant believe how good it looks 'on top' compared to underneath.

Hi to all,
Thanks for the encouragement gents.
I wish I was the talented one :roll: But it's my friend doing all the graft :lol: Gary seems to make light work of such horrors, and he seems to think that this Pi is not too bad.
Yep, it's strange how good it looks until you get underneath :shock: It used to reside at southwold on the east coast, which could connect with all the rust underneath. It may have had a trip to the beach at some stage.
