    I bought a 1988 Mondial cab, it seemed in good shape. I bought on the cheaper side and got a PPI with the full expectation of dumping some money into the car. This is what I've done so far, with some cosmetic work, clutch and updated fuse box left to go:

    Remove all timing components
    Remove valve covers
    Remove distributor caps and wires
    Adjust valves to factory specifications
    Clean and repair distributor caps
    Install all new timing components
    Install new spark plugs/oil filter/fuel filer & gaskets Refinish Cam Covers
    Refinish Valve Covers Reinstall all covers
    Fill fluids (oil/gear/antifreeze) Run vehicle, Test and tune
    Remove upper and lower A arms
    Remove Shocks
    Press out all bushings
    Clean and sandblast front and rear A Arms and rear Swaybar
    Powdercoat front and rear A Arms and rear Swaybar
    Install and grease all new A Arm bushings
    Clean coil springs
    Reassemble coil springs on shocks
    Clean and refinish shocks
    Install and grease new shock bushings
    Install coil over assemblies
    Spark Plug Wires
    Water Pump
    Upper Shock Mounts
    Powder Coating (all suspension)
    Cut & Polish
    Front Brake Pads Rear Brake Pads Brake Hose
    Machine rotors

    By the end of it, all the work will basically almost double the purchase price. That 20K Ferrari can easily become 40K in a hurry lol

    Well done!

    Sounds like you are doing it yourself.

    Unlike a lot of $40,000 Mondials out there right now you will know what you have, and know it has been done properly.

    Chris,

    This sounds like a great project. You should start a separate thread about your project. It would be great to see some pictures and learn more about it.

    I did a ton of research before engaging in this process. Looked at all the trouble spots and corrections/upgrades.
    I found a vehicle than was in decent shape cosmetically and showed great compression amongst other important factors. The rest I see it as more of a "restoration". At the end I'll know what parts have been replaced and will be basically starting with a "brand new" car.
    The materials and electronics are much better today than 30 years ago. Coolant hoses can now be purchased in silicone, upgraded electronics from people like David Helms, B pillars and roof toggles from great people like Ron on this site....the list goes on. Once I have her fully sorted, hoping she won't be too crazy on yearly maintenance....a thread is a good idea, and will be a good representation of what to expect when buying a Mondial. I'll get some pics ready and get on it.

    these internet cars can be a very scary proposition. Yes, It is "fully serviced", what exactly does that mean? timing belts done? great! How about suspension bushings, electrical, coolant/fuel line hoses, brakes, clutch/transmission, starter, B pillars, etc etc etc.....a proper PPI is the only way to buy a Ferrari Mondial in my opinion

    1986 Mondial 3.2 QV
    hard top
    Prugna Metalica
    59,000 miles

    I bought this car five years ago and drove it 15,000 as my daily driver and never towed in.
    - Runs great, shifts great and clutches great. (Entire rebuilt hydraulic clutch system).
    - Starts great. One reason is I installed the WR-1 intermediate solinoid.
    - Front disc brakes replaced.
    - All four CV joints and boots replaced.
    - New Bosch starter installed.
    - Sun roof works and is reportedly modified to prevent some sort of malfunction. Never malfunctioned for me.
    - Left window lift excellent.
    - Right window lift lethargic but is a bit better then when I bought it.
    - Wipers work when it is raining or in car wash.
    - Sun roof and left rear window leak in car wash and I use wide painters tape. (Included ;-)
    - Large deep discharge battery installed.
    - All engine and tranny seals replaced but makes little difference on drips.
    - Carpets are out of the car and need cleaning.
    - Horn compressor is out of the car (battery replacement required it and never reinstalled)
    - Windshield washer tank assembly is out of car for same reason above.
    - Interior is in very good shape.
    - Paint is shiny but front louvers show small pits in leading edge.
    - Body has two significant parking lot dings estimated $600 repair, but not all that terrible.
    - Heating/AC inoperable. Strong fan sometimes works, mostly not. Natural air flow gives lots of heat.
    - Power. I ran several speed only runs at invitation-only 1/2 drag race. Best speed was 115 mph shifting
    at 6,000 rpm. All higher rpms were slower by 1-2 mph.
    - I drive it 15 miles every six weeks and today it started on first turn of key.
    Major service due in a bit more then 1,000 miles. Cam belts replaced in 2013 and now have 15,000 miles.
    They are not difficult to replace but the only belt failures I have ever heard of were with newly
    installed belts. If I keep the car I do not plan a major service. This car has not been much raced after all.
    - I made many many posts on the Mondial site under Rapalyea with lots and lots of commentary and photos but do not know
    how to make them available. Here is one post I was able to retrieve. https://ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/for-new-owners.569713/

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure this thread is for posters posting other cars for sale. You need a Silver (at least) subscription to post your own. $15 per year, which allows sales posts in FerrariAds.

    Interesting, and thanks for posting.

    The VIN (ZFFKD32B000072401) seems to decode to a very early '89. I wonder how much of this car is original. Notice the seats from a 3.2 and the lack of three-position adjustable shocks.

    The center console is from a late 3.2 as well.

    Perhaps the first owner didn't like the new seats and ask for a special order and since it was the flipover year Ferrari could easily do this with its stock. It was not uncommon in those days from what I have seen on other Ferraris from that era.

    I like the looks of the older seats. :)
