[@marceldel4323]

Scott, Regarding the fog light. The complete lights are indeed very expensice, but you can replace the glass for about GBP 150. If you can't find them, i do have these in stock (Brand new, OEM Carello glass)

[@here_for_the_popcorn4474]

Awesome... I was about to suggest or ask if it couldve been fixed like a windscreen can be... great news about the glass...

[@Bighand4]

I have done the same thing on my Testarossa, and my Mondial t coupe. A pain in the as to get them of, but worth the extra work to save a lot of money.

[@Lemma01]

Does it come with the wasp fitted, or is that extra?

[@Al_is_XXX]

​@@Lemma01the Wasp of Doom are only available direct from Maranello, on back order, yours for £32,999.99, plus vat

[@Donax695]

sounds like a sensible deal @@Al_is_XXX

[@per-hakansvahn8044]

Excellent work on saving this one, Scott. The 348 is in my humble opinion the best looking mid-engine Ferrari. And almost affordable.

[@earthstick]

That wasp better be greatfull. The car looks fantastic.

[@bwhaggis199]

Your attention to detail is what keeps us all returning dude no shortcuts just cars done properly

[@MuitoDaora]

Except for the attention when carrying an expensive headlight that now is broken and he doesn't pretend to replace.

[@richpolecat6527]

And except for the attention to detail when he puts the bonnet struts upside down ​@@MuitoDaora

[@tuneskramer69]

Only Scott gives a Ferrari with no engine a concours treatment 😊

[@turbomini]

Those struts should be installed with the rod down so the oil will lubricate the seals and the oil will provide dampening at the end range of its stroke. Loving the 348 though.

[@conniebenny]

Yah! A new Ratarossa video to brighten my day! What a magnificent job, Scott! It looks like a totally different car to the one you bought. Many congratulations on the wonderful transformation your hard work has brought, and commiserations on the accident with the light. I really hope you can either repair it or pick up a replacement really cheaply.

[@keithreed5009]

Gas struts should usually be fitted with the body at the top, rod at the bottom, this allows internal oil to lubricate the seal inside

[@samueljweston]

Amazing. I absolutely loved this car as a kid at the time. I was particularly obsessed with the wheel design for some reason. This car for me was up there alongside the Testarossa, the F40, the 288 and the Countach!

[@farewell_to_normalcy9352]

11:45 love the subtle F40 parts chilling behind you

[@sirremusrobinson1070]

Nice flip my friend to get some finance for the bigger goals. It was a good move as you went through the car quickly.

[@OLH3rd]

LOVE seeing great older cars revived and given a second life!

[@SCDC-Channel]

OMG it looks EPIC! I need 348 in my life!

[@jamesdemuro5923]

That's so cute to have your little girl helping you in your project 😂

[@thenaturecreater8906]

Great work as usual mate! Ever tried ceramic coating on faded plastic. It's incredible! And it last a loong time. Karma is 100% happy wasp. Lighter wallet. Maybe you find the glas somewhere. Check the numbers. Maybe it was used to a lorry or something in the 90' 😅

[@hayderhassan382]

What a transformation! Looks amazing. Love the retrimmed interior and the exterior.

[@S.ASmith]

I remember when Lexi was a toddler...time flies..and now she's helping out like Owen was before going on his gap year!

[@bmc5108]

Scott. Try a wireless mic, like the RODE unit. It will reduce the echo in the videos and sound as good as the 348 looks 😊

[@noonehere1793]

Thank you for saving me, my wasp friends and i are going to have a whip around and we will try very hard to help you with the cost of the light. It really means the world to me that you chose to save me. Sincerely; THE WASP

[@itsnevo8757]

Looks awesome! I can’t wait to see that F40 project starting!

[@Bonnie_robbie78]

Great to see you back Scott, that seems like a long three weeks. The car is looking beautiful, I’d have saved the wasp too. Can’t wait to see the hidden project, trying to guess what it could be?? 😂❤

[@Dukefazon]

Great job, Scott, that car really transformed, looks amazing.

[@leeclark6970]

Took me ages to watch it too thanks to the kids etc. 348 was the first Ferrari i ever drove and still they hold a place for me. Scott, just get some proper flooring in there. Pretty sure costco do the clip together tiles cheaper than a dropped light unit, plus warmer and more comfortable too. Keep up the good work!

[@gary5481]

The result of holding the camera with one hand & trying to work with the other.

[@hereticallyconscious]

Only seeing your video now , but regarding cleaning the vinyl roof , ( and other areas ) why not try a steam cleaner … no chemicals and gets into areas that prove very difficult by hand .

[@moto-bruvs666]

the 348 is looking fine so far, fir the cracked light you could try the glass glue designed to repair windscreen cracks

[@wingerfan1]

Just a little tip to help you with restoration when it comes to carpet. If the carpet is dirty, but in excellent condition, you can blast it with dry ice in it will come out looking like brand new.

[@chir0pter]

Haha I feel you on the wasp thing, it's bad juju to not let them out. But I hope it doesn't end up costing so much to fix!

[@Tellso100]

Great job Scott. F40 aside, this to me is the best looking Ferrari. Everything I grew up loving about Ferrari's. Pure 80's!

[@peterroshouse]

Lots of good work there. FWIW, what I've found to work on plastics such as the dirty ash tray and cup holders is to run them through the dish washer. I put them on the upper rack so they're not too close to the heating elements and don't risk melting. Parts usually come out looking new.

[@sainta2667]

Realy fun and rewarding to see the process of cleaning and prepping the car. Well done Scott.

[@porsche964t]

Great meeting you today Scott. Keep up the amazing work and looking forward to new projects, whatever they may be!!😊Tony.

[@liamegan4303]

Hi Scott. Great job on the Car. Its looking so Good. There's still abit left to do, well done bro 😅 🇨🇮

[@neildonaldsonlotusexcelresto]

Those door cards really do look stunning, along with the rest of the car...

[@ricbrook7059]

If the glass in the fog light is sitting straight find yourself a good quality independent windscreen repairer to run and cure the cracks and pit fill the missing bits. Done a few in the past myself and they turned out pretty well. Done a few headlights in the past before every car had glass replaced with plastic. It is difficult because the glass isn't laminated and the resin waste is high but the principal is the same. I'm way too busy to undertake the job myself and I'm 200+ miles away but you must have someone nearby with decent glass repair experience.

[@mlx564]

Scott - superb job as always and another one for my reference library on how to improve my own 348. Regarding the broken front fog light PLEASE include how you fix this in your next video as I have the exact same issue and I’d love to see this job conquered by the master. You can source replacement glass relatively cheaply, but removing the broken lens from a sealed unit then replacing it is a challenge.

[@LucDesaulniers1]

For the roof, use the blue sponge, the green is very abrasive 2:34 2:36

[@twcmaker]

Hi Scott. I have a workshop in Stourbridge in the West Midlands. This town has been the centre of Glass making in the UK for over 300 years. I know a man that can repair glass. To the point it won't be visible at all.

[@andyshupe7248]

I dropped and broke the glass one-year-only reverse light on a FJ40 restoration project years ago. A glass blower I knew repaired it with a UV glue that, after it sat in the sun for about a week, completely disappeared. Couldn't tell it had ever been broken. Maybe investigate that?

[@costaspotamos1574]

There are lots of technicians out there that will fix your light and will look like new.

[@matthewrooke386]

What a transformation 10/10 Scott as always 👍👍

[@ar-am1976]

You learned a valuable lesson mate. Blankets and foam sheets are your friend, always plan on worse case scenarios. Learned this the hard way myself.

[@buffdoc46]

Outstanding restoration

[@LymanGreen]

I’m sorry you cracked your light but I deeply appreciate your empathy for a living creature - even a less sympathetic type one like a wasp. How we treat the smallest and least of the creatures we share this planet with is a reflection of who you are, and that’s a good person in my opinion.

[@nigelbullock9039]

What a transformation on a knackered 348. A real beauty now

[@paulatkins2825]

Love watching your Videos. How you restore these beautiful machines is fantastic. Keep up the great content.

[@Ratarossa]

Glad you like them!

[@wolfgangw.8243]

Amazing job. Cleaning is one of the best tuning

[@focus3303]

Excellent video Scott....the 348 is looking awesome 👌 Keep the good work going 💪

[@craigmcbride526]

Stunning transformation. Would love to have your skills and knowledge. 😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Nyx_88888]

you're a good man. thanks for saving the wasp, you will have good fortune

[@Nyx_88888]

Hey not sure if this is a repeat message but just wanted to say thanks for the cool Ferrari content. I know I been hard on you about the Tesla stuff but just wanted to say thanks, you are my favorite of all the car KZbin content, just really adore you, you deserve more subs but I know you have less bc you are more real. I love your videos, and you aren’t for the masses just for the mini masses, I hope you make enough cash, you should focus more on flipping cars. But yeah, your videos are a treat, more special than adam lz, Tavarish, jimmy oakes, or any of them. So even if I hate the Tesla content just know I love your videos and the Ferrari restorations and the daily use of Ferraris you fix. Most content creators seem ti alienate the viewer but you haven’t. Thanks for the content, you still have an old school car content vibe

[@Nyx_88888]

I respect your ability to always get the job done

[@Nyx_88888]

And I also applaud your ability to do these restorations at your house or other small spaces, also it’s obvious you keep good relationships w your shops as far as wheels, tires, paint, glass, I know you take care of them well to keep them on point and working well for you. They appreciate your business

[@Nyx_88888]

It is not just that easy to drop off and say paint it, or etc, you have to be an asset to have them let you film them and give you service immediately, I know you don’t just the line at the paint booth but you been working w them for years and not worn them out, so you been paying and respecting their time. They do benefit some from the exposure but you show your loyalty and they show you good work. What I’m trying to illustrate is that not everyone can create a good relationship like this

[@Pluckio]

Watching this rebuild, you realize, the way this car is put together and the materials it’s made up of, there’s no difference between a Ferrari and a KIA; plastic, plastic, plastic, glue, fiberglass and cosmetic touches to create the appearance of quality. What you pay for is an idea and the name.

[@dinodinosaur2930]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Brilliant work as always ... How will you part with this one 😥

[@chir0pter]

Some people look down on used cars because they are paranoid about human detritus left in carpets. In the future it might be a nice touch to have the carpeted upholstery removed completely for dry cleaning or at least shampooing. Would take a restoration like this to like-new territory and really up the satisfaction level for even non-paranoid people

[@christopherahler4674]

This is one of the best videos I've watched of yours! Great job. Great pace, variety of projects, very satisfying to see it all come together in one video. Thank you!

[@Ratarossa]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LandoMorales]

What a transformation, I feel like this car (and your work) deserves a professional detailing

[@StarkWorksCanada]

Its turning out to be a stunning example of Ferrari classic design, looking forward to the end restoration wrap video

[@Scuderia_Fan]

What a transformation, well done!

[@jonathancollard3710]

I had 348TS back when they were current model (yes I’m an old fart). Your restoration has brought a happy smile to my face; thanks Scott 👍

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks

[@repairupdaterepeat5815]

Cant wait to see the bbi at this stage. Its going yo be epic

[@richleeson6030]

Windscreen repair kit should work on the driving lamps

[@DazGeary]

the 348 was my car poster on my bedroom wall in the late 80s.

[@KevinStubing]

The top on my 328 is pretty dull and has a few spots that look like old soap or cleaner. Think I’ll follow you and use dye. Great to see the transformation of the 348. Good luck with the light. 328 fog light assemblies are a fortune too

[@ejs3559]

So satisfying to watch, great video

[@leecheeseman5900]

For your black trims, try Gtechniq Permanent Trim Restorer 😎 Its incredible!

[@guyinoakland]

Fantastic work Scott

[@tommyholen6887]

Ohh, those F40 parts….. I am so looking forward to see them put together! 😊

[@Northbaylandscaping]

lol nice to hear the word satin black used and man that top looks amazing!

[@danstewart8218]

Hey Scott...The Wasp...Exactly the sort of thing I do...So glad you are like it too...Utterly made my day. John Lennon said he wasn't the only one...;D

[@paulgoyette8222]

Love the 348TS… even more than Number27’s 308…. Great job!

[@danarmstrongmusic]

Great work Scott - always had a soft spot for 348s. Nearly bought one a few years back (wish I had as the prices shot up!!) Looking forward to the rest of this series

[@paulleeson8670]

Great video Scott, but please get yourself some wing protectors not good for the paint with the hose rubbing on the wings 👍🏼

[@Ratarossa]

Good call!

[@SteveBigTaco]

Great stuff!! Makes me want to go out and buy an old Ferrari!! Cheers!

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks so much Steve, Very much appreciated

[@StevesProjectCarGarage]

Nice work Scott. I hate wasps, but you did a good thing. Sounds like you might have a good option in the comments below to replace just the glass. Keep up the good work.

[@michaelhawkins5530]

Great work to bring this car back.

[@fransb8543]

No good deed goes unpunished

[@TP-3000]

Half decent? You’re making me want one!

[@ocean5377]

Great video well done , car has come up really nice well done

[@AgtX999]

Irony of saving the wasp & not getting stung but still got stung by fate for his efforts.

[@alanprather8399]

used that vht to restore a leather vintage midcentury chair. it does a good job and looks good and holds up. not sure how it will do with uv exposure, but the tops got to look better than it did.

[@pormansgoldpmg5493]

You really are a professional turd polisher. What a transformation. I'd love to own the ferrari. Would install a chevy ls engine powerplant 2 save on future maintenance expenses and to be a reliable daily driver here in the states.

[@leeclark6970]

Video went live 14 mins ago, is 20 mins long and people have watched it all already?! My eyes are old and slow..ffs

[@eliotmansfield]

I watch most yt videos on double speed

[@jimmystop]

I think it’s considered a view after only a few minutes

[@tomdinneen1867]

Love pedantry on YT 😂

[@g3volution]

Lots of people watch KZbin at 1.5 or 2x, interestingly this benefits the channels as each viewer has watched more per minute.

[@SupermotoCentral]

You do know you can scroll through the video?😂

[@jtanabodee]

Awesome work!

[@williampinchbeck4321]

Hope you can find someone to make that lens!!! Good luck!!

[@fatherandsonsferrarirescue]

Hello again from Canada…your telling me these builds take awhile to do!! Well takes a lot of working to create funds will I ever see my family again! Well our project goes to paint soon what was your final cost for the paint process? Thanks for another great video….we I way behind getting a new video out but soon very soon

[@steffydog]

Another awesome job fella, thanks for sharing 👍

[@stuartblack9258]

Awesome job as always Scott! What a transformation ❤

[@sampledude8846]

bless you for saving that wasp.

[@wimdepril6920]

I believe I saw some aftermarket (non OEM) lenses for those headlights on ebay once. Not sure if that’s still the case.

[@stephengirling7859]

No good turn goes unpunished!

[@TheNorthernmunky]

There’s a company in Poland that will make you the lens for that. They did the one for Matt Armstrongs murcialago! Look them up - I will try and find the name

[@andyboulton5585]

Great video time to invest in some new lapel mics though sound quality is a bit rough

[@abbeyhall4624]

I like the coloured floor mat, reckon you might like to do similar to the seat headrests etc. That'd be a nice little touch.

[@Ratarossa]

Good call!

[@paulwalker993RSR]

Lenses are available on ebay for those lights Scott. What's going on with the mechanical parts mate?

[@nikmilosevic1696]

Nice another Ferrari saved, and saved very nicely!

[@sleepysamk1400]

We need to send the wasp to Rwanda 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🐝🐝🐝🐝🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheMdog8]

Fair play mate, that motor is looking MINT now

[@RealRickCox]

Wow. You really did transform this car from a RAT into a beautiful Ferrari!! I hope you'll be able to recoup all the money you poured into this restoration.

[@Ratarossa]

I hope so too!

[@geoffh2560]

well this video had a sting in the tail. Great attention to detail though Scott, love it.

[@wimdepril6920]

By the way, why do those refinished wheels look so dull. Did they forget the lacquer?

[@jayymac]

Ooooooohhhh… all those F40 body panels… 😍😍😍
