    My post was in response to your #107.

    Perhaps I should have spelt that out for Ning Nongs?

    Yes, and clearly we were discussing 355s, so I was right and you were talking gibberish.

    Mine had travelled 59000kms on original guides, no smoke. Felt lower on power - did a leak down and compression test and was showing 20% leak down on a couple cylinders. Pulled the heads and had the 360 steel guides fitted, amazing difference but if you didn’t drive another sorted car you’d have not known.

    Yes the original factory shields for the 355 were in a recessed front wing.
    Those wings - if you can find them - are pretty valuable these days.

    In a perfect world that's what I'd like to have, but mine are the same as Kryten's and what used to be on NN's car.
    I think they look great and wouldn't have the car without them.

    Yeah it's in great condition, I'd rate the paint 9/10. Under direct bright torch light there are still a couple of spots with imperfections which I'll get to. Looks like a bit of factory overspray and a bit of extra clearcoat spots here and there.

    Importantly, mechanically it's really really good. Last owner just spent $30k at Christmas time giving it a major, getting the rockers/wheels/undertray all painted and sorted out. It runs like a top. Everything is totally original, no lary aftermarket air intakes etc.

    I managed to score a brand new set of the titanium wheel bolts (the ones that take a 17mm hex) for $1000. Totally stoked. They look great.

    It's the small details that matter to me. Got new nice new OEM valve stem covers, some new front undertray skid plates, new gas struts etc... Just getting it spot on.

    This is why I had the original question about the leather. It's tempting to get it redone but not at the cost of originality.

    If you can leave the leather original and have it professionally re dyed.


    In regards to paint, all 1995 F355 are single stage paint. So if it’s got clear on it it’s been painted which is not unusual given the buttress cracking and stone chips over time.

    Afternoon fellas.

    So I spent hours upon hours today and got the leather (and carpets) to a point where I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks for the great tips.

    First to remove those old prancing horse patches from the seats. I was worried they were stitched on but it turns out they were just fluffy decals. They left a mark which took some time to remove, but all came good.
