355 What would I be getting into?

Right.. so I stand corrected. Buying blindly is a superb idea actually as think of all the time that saves, it never occurred to me actually. ppi's were invented for the sole purpose of revenue for shops I bet. That 8 year old used range rover on ebay, I'm buying it, its fine I'm sure.

Lol, no in all seriousness, that was fake sarcasm, many cars are fine this is true, exactly as you describe and I hope everyone gets one like that. There are plenty of problem children out there is the point. you get the gist assume the worst until proven otherwise, buyer beware and all that is all.

enjoy!

would it be possible to put me in touch with the former owner of your car. I am contemplating converting my top to manual and would love to speak with someone who has done this work.
appreciate your help, cheers, jon

He paid a now retired guy to do it & a ton of other stuff. But, a lot of folks on this site have done it & say it’s easy. Look at this (and other) links. Contact me if you have questions after the fact as there are little tricks/issues at times getting it up & done, but not biggies, once you know. I really like it. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/f355-convertible-top-manual-conversion-help.591899/

I’ll make you a short video of upping & downing it, if you need it.

 

Did OP (Snewton94024) decide what path to take down his decision tree?
