What have you done to your Ferrari Today?

Saw TRutlands had exhaust bibs for 308s. Ordered one. Mine is badly rusting, the vents were dented & slightly twisted & was hanging on by a thread.
Getting the old one off was easy.
Getting the new one on wasn't so much fun. a couple of the holes were a smidge off.
But she's done.

 

After the new arrival on Sunday spent the day completing full engine service, gearbox oil change, full component check before firing her up for the first time and oh was it worth the 10 week wait from over the pond!

This weekend full suspension, steering rack, brake change etc ready for interior revamp in a couple of weeks

Congrats! More pics please....


Cheers!

 

Sad day! I changed the oil and put her away until spring. My parents were kind enough to offer a spot in their heated garage.

 

A quick wash to prepare for winter hibernation:

Very nice!

 

Look forward to seeing it there tomorrow

 

Car Capsule?????

... I thought the standard procedure for winter hibernation was to lay all the gardening tools on the top and lean the bicycles against the side?

 

Winter hibernation?

And miss the best driving of the year?

 

It's only been a couple of days, give it time! Lol

 

Totally agree, should be able to take it in/out with not too much fuss....was more to keep the critters out in between drives.

 

I got the last drive in on a Autumn day with the top down before it got cold

I don't know about anyone else but my gt4 loves cold weather! The heater will bake cookies (which my wife loves) and it is dual zone - I can turn off my side and close the vents and roll down the windows while she has all of the heat on her side...

 

probably repeated ad nauseum but what an amazing color.

 

What a phenomenal drive! It was like a giant Laguna Seca stretching for a 200 miles, with multiple cork-screws in the mountain passes, but no Andretti hairpin to ruin your fun at the end of the long straight-aways. And did I mention no traffic? Of course I wouldn't take a 30-year old F-car there during the summer months, but this time of the year it's great.

I would recommend avoiding the three-mile-long stretch of gravel between paved segments on Trona Wildrose Road however... Got a little dusty with the roof off.

Death Valley drive. in a Ford. great road. I drove to L A from Las Vegas

 

Any recommendations for snow tires for the 16" wheels?





(Kidding of course)

 

Just keep your summer tires on and put on chains. Duhhh.

 

Picked my son up from school with the top off. It was cool (45F) but certainly comfortable. I know the days are numbered but I will take what I can get!

 

Removed AC unit from under dash. Took it apart, cleaned out the old crud and drain. Caulk and rivited back together. Install it later this week. The drain was closed off with crud. All else was good.

 

Drove her to winter storage location. So Sad. be there til mid March unless we get a nice weekend in the interim.

 

New carb insulator gaskets, greased carb bearings, restaked carbs, new swaybar bushings.
