You WONT BELIEVE How Cheap My Ferrari 308 Was !!! Part 18

And a look in from Samcrac ! Ha ha, that was a great surprise ! And Matt Farah ! This is really brilliant !

[@Ratarossa]

thankyou

[@cesartoledo5621]

Your show is my favorite one on the “KZbin” … thank you for the making it happen. It’s not easy I bet.

You could get a sandblasting tip for pressure washer and it would give u uniform finish without shiny spots left by brush

[@Ratarossa]

interesting, i will look into that. wasn't aware it existed

[@ianwynneuk]

Another great video Rata - keep them coming. Poor old 308 is purring as you make her better. Will be nice to see the electrics and interior come together - it certainly need some love! 👍

[@craigdixon4625]

I have a nephew the same age called Josh he's 17 in 2 weeks, he's got a corsa that looks like a VXR he helped me put brake pads in it yesterday it also needs front shocks he's gonna help me with that too. Great to see yous bonding over cars keep it up

[@StaredownGames]

308!!!! They will forever hold a special place in my heart. Congrats! Also, you KNOW you gotta rock a Selleck 'stache now, right? Pretty sure it's law.

[@al8161]

Scott, it was super cool from sam and matt to give some advice to your nephew Keep trying to get him on the ferrari wave instead of the lambo! Really enjoy your videos Cheers from spain

[@themessenger5868]

I used paint stripper from a can and brushed it on, take 15 mins and you get 100% of your old paint off. NO scratching ! Heat gun won't really remove heat paint.

[@Omegaman1969]

I used to own a black 308 replica (fiero)that looked identical to this car, I thought it was the same car for a second .

[@Ratarossa]

Those Fiero replicas are actually really good with all the dimensions

[@Omegaman1969]

Ratarossa Yeah it had the correct lights , badges and wheels . People would ask if it was real and I’d say lift the engine cover and have a look . They would see all the factory stickers and overlook the 6 HT leads 🤣

[@Ratarossa]

simon hanlon brilliant !!! I had a replica 246 Dino many years ago (there’s some crappy videos of it in my channel) .... that was a very good replica. It would fool most ferrari owners including the ones who thought they knew it all 😂

[@marcocerqueira2732]

This was a disappointing video. Description has nothing to do with the video, and you don’t show how you actually fixed anything, except using a wire brush on a drill. This channel has so much potential but the content is too scattered.

[@Ratarossa]

Marco, I try to mix it up a bit. I do full fixing video's also ...even to the extreme of step by step doing a FULL cam belt service on a 360 so literally anyone could follow it now.

Oven cleaner(easy off) works really well to strip paint off parts.... better results and safer than aircraft stripper. Spray it on pretty well, let it sit for 20-30 min. And wipe off.

[@Ratarossa]

Farewell_ To_Normalcy great tip thanks 🙏

What do you think of the Ferrari 308gt4? Strangely enough, my favorate ferraris are this, the 456 and the 275GTB4. Keep up the good work!

[@Ratarossa]

henryhol8538 I really like the GT4, it was actually the first ever Ferrari I bought and put down a deposit on. A project car 25 years ago. Unfortunately the seller couldn’t find all the paperwork so the deal fell through and it wasn’t for another 6/7 years I managed to get a 348 Spider

[@alfaubrom]

Hello I like these films, allows one to envisage that I could perhaps do the same, don't have your range of skills,everyone's skill set varies, my question is or observation is, you could do with a workbench, outside temporary clamp it to the fence with a roof over bit of ply an felt. Did the surface of the cam cover get marked by the tarmac? Or is it recessed? I tend do srewbolt items to plywood then clamp ply to bench then stripping is easier as you can lean on it more, I could make you a bench I find years of kneeling an crouching catches upon you, thankyou for the films my comment meant to be supportive not a diss, cheers.

[@lyfandeth]

There are polycarbonate "single edge razor blades" that make good disposable scrapers. Won't scratch metal or glass, FYI. But if you ship that car over to the States, I can clean that entire engine bay for you.(g)

[@billywhizz98]

I Thought you where doing the handbrake cables

[@Ratarossa]

I need to order them up

[@billywhizz98]

Sorry I thought I was missing out on seeing them being done

[@lizardywizard]

The way you approach the paint removal was so poorly considered- the marks made by the wire wheel would take an age to polish out surely? Why did you not go with paint stripper as a first choice? For future reference and if you can get your hands on one then a steam cleaner (not just a jet wash or even pressure cleaner) can be invaluable on such jobs - remember we now cut steel using water and so paint removal is not too tricky. Water is amazing in the nooks and crannies that we struggle to even work with paint stripper. The price of the 2nd hand brake quadrants is gob-smacking - would have been interesting know price for complete unit from new parts? I'm not here just to knock you and appreciate your videos very much. I like Jay Lenos thoughts on Italian cars and small oil passages combined with colder climates- basically he considers that Italian cars are built for the warm climate and thus nice thin oil. In colder climates oil will be thicker on start up and will take time to flow through the small passageways in the block - he thinks it very important not to rev the engine for a minute or two in order that the oil will warm and be flowing nicely before you put strain on the motor by making her spin up... It just makes sense to me - especially with components costing what they appear to! I can feel myself heading into a Ferrari parts price wormhole... what have you started :-) ? Beats songs of praise :-) Oh yeah - wasnt the end pot completely filled with oil when you removed the plug? What did you do to resolve the issue?

I thought about the 348 and then saw how beautiful the 355 Ferrari was I was going to buy one of those but after seeing all the reviews on the expense on a 355 probably going to just go after a Californian that way I can drive it every day if I want

David, ill try and do a Cam Timing belt full service video on the 355 if I ever get the time. That way you can buy the pretty 355 and maintain it yourself

Cam cover likely had high heat paint applied so a chemical stripper was needed, maybe even cheap oven cleaner or nail polish remover could have worked. The chime in from Samcrac was funny and great you include music during times when dialog or background sound isn't necessary.
