I had PBs last new frp box 2 years ago

Sounds like the thing a certain Puma specialist has done many times before.

Shocking service :|

PumaBuild currently show on their online shop that you can buy LSD's and FRP Gearboxes with LSD's fitted. However I know for a fact that they do not have any at all and most likely will never have any new ones. Paulob1 fell into this ordering some and paid, waited 3 weeks to be told theres none available.

Just a couple of little updates...

Work has commenced to remove the engine and exhaust

A small selection of samco hoses ready to go on, swapped from the Radiant Red 1.4

 

[spike.]

wow, thats major open heart surgery!

 

[Sparx]

I know.. I was kinda thinking the same thing :lol:

 

[Blue3]

Never mind that, my first car is in the background, albeit mine was lowered with a side exit cherry bomb exhaust :lol:

Sounded bloody brilliant but topped out at 83mph, good to see some progress on the sparx mobile

Glad your finally getting your Pumba fixed up, it's great seeing cars stripped apart and rebuilt.

Oh yes, used to get cossies moving out the way to let me passed with the noise it made, then the look on their face when they saw what it was was priceless
