    Looks fantastic!

    I've always wanted to see TDF on a 348. Can't wait to see it all together sitting in the sunshine!

    Sent the rads to a local firm for rebuilding.

    the cooler was a different matter, Ferrari list is around £750 if you can get them.I found a company called Radtec in the Midlands that could rebuild the cooler keeping the same cast end tanks with the Ferrari logo's:D fit new unions and rebuild the hsg for the temp sensor.
    Think the pics speak for themselves................................cost £150

    When I bought the car the intention was to rebuild it into a nice useable car, not a concours car that I wouldn't want to use.

    Steam cleaned the engine ass and removed all the ancillaries.The plenum and the cam boxes were loosing their paint so they would have to be refurbed.Problem as others have found with the plenums is getting the silver crinkle paint so I took the easy route and went Black.

    Apart from a really good clean and the repainting of some components all that it had was a thorough service, belts, Hill's tensioners, valve clearance, cam seals, etc.
