I reckon aftermarket might be 1/3 rd the price
I just want to say how much I love this thread, and all the photos of tiny details that you don't think to look at when you're too busy going "holy s**t, an F50!" As others have said, the time you take to talk about and post pics of all the work done is really appreciated! Also - those must be the most expensive sponges on the planet I've got a couple in the sink still in their wrappers if you'd like to start some kind of FChat sponge donation system - they come with antibacterial stuff in them according to the packet, so they must be just as "safe" as the dealer ones I guess
Thanks Mikey. Not many people get to see an F50 at all, let alone all the little details that make the car something special. I think it's interesting to have a record of the ownership experience.
I actually havn't taken photos of the F50 when its all together, Taken some photos at JA's a while back when it was in peices and then my camera got stolen before i had a chance upload the photos! If there is a chance, would be great to take some proper photos of the whole car.
Comes with the territory mate. Aint cheap maintain these cars. Especially the Ferrari supercars. Off topic........ I read in another thread that the electric nose lift motor in the Enzo Ferrari are burning out. Turns out to be a faulty switch causing this. The replacement "Ferrari" electric motor for the Enzo is US$16K from the dealer!! People are getting their original motor rewound and saving US$15K!! As 360C mentioned, he could probably go aftermarket fuel cells for the F50 for a 1/3rd of the price. Same would apply with the electric motor I reckon.
360 you can't make a statement like that and then not tell us why??? Thats my dream car and I hope to one day be able to go for a blat on the road not only the track.
Ooooh some nice detail pics there, that battery leak is devastating in such an immaculate car!!!! For those interested, I took hundreds of photos of this car a couple months ago, the bulk are here for your perving leisure: ---> http://aussieexotics.com/drivers/thumbnails-159.html edit: for each link I post here, the hi-res is available at that link, just in case you're wondering....

Ok, they're not amazing photographs like you'd see in National Geographic... there's not one single drooping African boobie!!! But of them all, I think this is the one you'll be coming back to look at over and over - I don't know what it is about the pic, the car's not at-rest, it's not driving, it's just a lovely shot. ---> http://aussieexotics.com/drivers/displayimage.php?pid=5468&fullsize=1
*drowns in own drool* Nice pics Ash, that last one definitely is the one I love the most. Now my new wallpaper, hope you don't mind Beautiful rebuild, I don't know a lot, but it looks as though ferrarifixer has done a brilliant job at helping it come together. Also, some decent pics of the technical aspects. Thanks Sean
