Is the ceramic coating not bad for your paint? I readed something that the repair shop doesnt like it when it is apllied on the car

[@Ratarossa]

Literally every high end shop uses it that I know of

It does do allot with the paint. Collor is much better with it. They also do it on windows. It is the same effect as a fresh waxed car window. Good video's ❤

You got termites in the roof beams bud you need to get some termite killer and treat the beams of your roof and check elsewhere there is wood in your house cos if you have them in your garage you definitely have them in your house too and any wooden furniture too bud you might have an infestation of termites ❤❤❤

[@jimmacc161]

Did u ever get the tool kit back

[@Ratarossa]

Sadly not mate

[@JayL781]

I believe that the beam is load-bearing. I would look into a metal I-beam that you can slide in and then remove beam. Regardless it'll have to be removed. You do not want the roof to collapse and land on the Ferraris. Depending on how your insurance is😂

If you can't replace those beams with tanalised timber spray them kerosene, that should kill your woodworm.

[@cwillmore97]

Despite your unquestioned knowledge, and apparently good resources, you seem to have gotten over your head with this one. First clue was the baggies and buckets of bronzed bolts and brackets still sitting around in your kitchen (and garage and patio) a year after the project started. At that point, I'm thinking there's no way he gets this thing back together. Sure enough... I really do hope it all comes back together, and that you are able to fire it up, drive it about, then park it in some rich guy's garage! Cheers.

[@Ratarossa]

Very valid comment .... I love a challenge so lets see buddy if I can get it all back together and on the road
