    Someone I knows 599 was flooded (4ft) in Naples. Car has immense sentimental value to him.

    I know it’s not a cost effective route to go-don’t advise buy another.

    does anyone know who could help him restore it? Any advice, recommendations are extremely welcome. Thank you

    I hope he salvages his car, but I do wonder why it wasnt moved ahead of time.

    Thoughts on… stripping and turning it into a track car and dropping all factory electronics out. Anyone done anything similar before?

    I am fixing up my 599 more and Bruce is doing a lot of it. I'd love to work with you as you fix yours up as well. Let me know if you're interested.

    Bruce is a great mechanic and very good with 599's. He's done an enormous amount of work on my 599. I would go to him. He's had my 599 for a bit. Getting it back this Friday!!!

    Mark, I will contact Bruce, I know you said you would like to work with me as I try to fix it up. I am getting close to that step and would love your input.
