This is some heck of a build! But is this car in anyway water tight without any seem sealers an only riveted the fiberglass panels on the chassis. Ore is/was it 7 years ago only a dry weather racer?
They took a rare original Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina (Fiberglass) with the usual very poor Ferrari chassis as the donor car. They did improve the chassis but a completely new chassis would have been preferable. What was the point in doing this? At least the mechanicals got a refurbishment. Now they have a Fibreglass 308 kit car. What were they thinking?
What the… Did you actually use a ‘vetroresina’ 308…?! 😳 Why not do it properly and get a 250 SWB or a 300 SL Gullwing, chop that up into a kit car. Honestly, it’s quite painful to watch this sacrilege.
Hello. Hope this comment finds you. I this video is 4 years old. I am just now embarking on a 79 RM 125 restore and had some questions. I’m awe of what you did with yours!
It is awesome. But still i wonder what really remains of the original donor car. Only some minor parts of the original metal chassis, and the engine. I'm afraid quite all the car (that was in good shape initially) had to be thrown away (or sold as spares). Body is now fiberglass, interiors are obviously gone, suspension are highly modified.. Does it worth the cost of all this job? It seems easier to build a new one from scratch. finding a ferrari V8 engine should not be difficult. Or at least starting from a crushed car.. i'm sorry. huge perfection job indeed.
This looks like a ‘vetroresina’ 308, so fiberglass body instead of steel. These cars are highly sought after and very valuable. Pretty insane to chop one up!
Looking at the engine at 9:54 and wondering why the water pump pulley is so large. What issue is being solved by having the water pump turn at a lower RPM?
