This video covers the mechanical and cosmetic restoration of a 1998 F355 Berlinetta. This car belongs to my good friend of mine who wanted a turn key F355, restored to absolute perfection with originality in mind. Enjoy.
While I don’t have a Ferrari, I have a heavily modified and well maintained 2006 Maserati GranSport - seeing this video really makes my proud driving my Maserati….and the three-five-five is a dream car. Thank you for sharing. My Maserati is Rosso Mondiale.
This is better than the footage from the Ferrari Classiche department. Elliot, if you can find the time can you do more of these? Very Informative and enjoyable to watch.
I’m speechless. Such an involved process! Beautiful editing! Subscribed! BTW, is it normal to have to change so many things on such a recent car??? I can’t even fathom the costs of parts alone ! Nothing was left untouched. Insane
Thanks Mike, yes it only feels like yesterday that I was wondering who was going to paint the cam covers on my F355. Amazing how far I have come through focus, passion and an insatiable desire to learn more about these cars! Thanks again
Wow, great work it was a really satisfying video. Hope to one day own the F355 berlinetta in canna di fucile over tan but all these videos scare me with the attention to detail and hours which are needed to maintain it properly in combination with the scarcity of parts. I think in the future you really need to want one and opportunists and traders will more and more stay away from it.
Exceptional work; my F355 is from 1995 and I know what it takes to keep it looking and running half as good. I’m surprised you were able to get parts, F355 parts are getting very difficult.
Beautiful 💝 Craftmanship 💪 Eye for detail ... just wonderful ✨️ Congratulations for your perfect Masterpiece control Elliott, for the work of Art that you (can) do. Thank you 💫.
Yes good job, we all agree, but why not do the cam and heads while u was there?, I know the costumer wanted stock , but needed to upgrade the suspension to handle like a 458 model, my ones man’s opinion on that part, still would of hold the same look and stance to it, but over all great job, not a nut and bolt restoration, but I hate to see the bill u charged that guy, and it was by the hour, as u stated in the video, took u hours to clean it, at 200-350 a hour, oh lord, I know it was more then the cars full retails value, But I think he loved this car that price was no object to him, I’m thinking just over 120k easy to do all this to it without a paint job and interior, Great services on it to,
Hi Noticed you had rebooted the connectors as well. I did a rebooting of a few of my F355 (1996) connectors and may have got the wiring wrong. Do you have the wire color code of the Idling Control switch? Your response will be greatly appreciated. Thks
