thanks I truly love working on special projects like this to exercise all my skill and resource for an amazing outcome.

Thank you!

Glad you like it!

yeah i try my best to not make a mess these days and I said when it came to this car I had to do things different to avoid the hot oil from the oil tank getting all over me and the detailed chassis. worked perfectly.

yes plus the fun is you can actually work on these older cars where as the new cars you need crazy expensive diganostics to even do basic stuff. The 997 GT3 and GT3RS are my absolute favorite modern Porsche cars right being the nostalgic feeling 993 cars.

@@autofanaticcars New farm equipment is even more oppressive to repair.

Indeed it is!

yeah it does i mechanically have the exhaust bypass open all the time il have more updated videos once the weather cools off its oppressive the last month or so

@@autofanaticcars sounds good!

Thanks! 👍 yeah the oil level gets tricky on these cars but was perfect when settled. Check my IG feed for more F355 video content and detail work ive done to the car it is simply outstanding. I also have a full Capristo exhaust with Tubi headers it sounds wicked I have a video on this channel of exhaust clips of my old exhaust which was a Nouvalari SS and it sounded F1 loud I loved it but the locals complained about the noise.

@@autofanaticcars Yeah, it's an awesome sound to us but I can see why it could annoy some people... My story: After 4 mostly great years of ownership, I got a great offer from someone who had seen my car at my mechanic's place. The car had been giving me headaches with constant oil leaks (I think of the four years I had it, there was maybe one where I didn't notice fresh oil on my garage floor). Then the alternator was flashing the red battery CEL sporadically. My mechanic didn't see anything wrong with it but the problem persisted so I had to find a used one to put in. (Finding good used parts for these cars is getting harder and harder, never mind finding new ones. I once spent 2 months waiting to replace the ABS pump, which was leaking. My mechanic ended up adapting a used one from a 90's Jaguar.) Finally, the right stock manifold started leaking as expected in all these cars. That's when I decided it was time to pass this along to the next owner (with full disclosure). He had to pay over $5K to get Tubi headers shipped from Italy and waited over a month for them. I know because I kept the car for him while the headers arrived. So... I basically grew disenchanted with the car -- my 1st dream Ferrari. And I decided to put the sale proceeds toward my 2nd dream Ferrari: a red 458 Italia, which I absolutely love! That's my story, keep up the great work.

If you suck all oil out from the tank you don’t need to remove the drain plug on the tank it saves so much time and mess doing it my way.

@@autofanaticcars Thanks for replying! That's what I thought but wanted to ask first. I really appreciate your straightforward no-nonsense method. Many thanks!

thanks for watching the video lots of cool content on the channel. More about the quality of subscribers and customers thats most important. AF

I spent months using various techniques and locating NOS parts, replating original parts etc. its even more detailed since this video was shot

that will ruin the original leather as they are heat set during application almost 30 years ago

No I did not but I plan to be doing dry ice cleaning in a new shop soon once we leave the NY area I am super excited for 2022

@@autofanaticcars Where are you moving to?

the rear diffusers were expertly restored to perfection by ME and are resting on my toolbox for later installation as they are very fragile to handle on and off. After the wheel alignment is complete then a brand new clutch assembly and further surface detailing to the bell housing cover and installing the newly acquired NOS cltch hard line, block and bleed nipple to round out the detailing. Check my Instagram for short videos on these newly acquired parts.

Im not into luxury cars at all the Bentley are nice cars but you cant work on them like these older Ferrari cars.
