    Wow, that's a great result Christian.

    I've bought a kit to clean the lights too... just need to find some time!

    Great work as usual Christian. It seems every car you own turns into a masterpiece by the time you are done with it. I hope you keep this one a little bit longer than the F430 and Scud!

    Hi Dennis,

    thanks! :)

    Yes, Tessi will be a keeper!

    But to be honest, i miss the nimble mid V8 a little bit and hope to can ad one someday. :)

    Greetings Christian

    Me too Christian. I hope to add a mid-V8 to my collection (plus I currently have a nimble Fiat Dino Spider which is definitely a keeper).

    Just saw a oil leakage on the right head cover.

    Looks like a bigger leakage because there is a lot of oil on the floor. :(

    The last belt change was made end of 2012 and and so there are 2 years
    to drive but i´m afraid the oil leakage is a little bit bigger and i want to change the oil seals from the cams and so i will change the belt too.

    And with engine out i will take the chance and go for a new diff!

    Just orderd the Forza diff! :)

    The car will pick up by Ferrari Eberlein and get the major service,
    diff upgrade and the Ferrari Classiche certification and i will post pics. :)

    Hello, I hope to one day have my car perfected this way! My car needs all those treatments if you look closely at it. I especially love the new Ferrari stereo! Your shields look great also.

    Fantastic
    I had Clear Mask put on the Fog Lens as they are almost impossible to replace!
    Our 512Tr has only 4,900 miles and yours looks just as nice!

    Too bad for the oil leak ; at least it's an opportunity to upgrade the diff carrier.

    Look forward to seeing photos!

    Ok Whats the trick to geting the glass back onto the motor That clip has me scratching my head on my 355 its the same set up.
    Mine is apart for paint but I have looked at it and have wondered how it goes back on.

    Did you just Push it back on and the retaining clip moves then snaps into place?

    Thanks!

    Do yourself a favour Christian ..... (found the hole which prevents you getting TUV?) (I had 2 RHS lamps broken myself in my first years with the 512TR .... :( )

    These oem 512TR foglenses ar not available anymore through oem channels and you may have to pay up to €1250 each ....

    So ... get yourself a 1mm clear film by 3-M or so ... check every year and mark that date on the housing.
