@@tunalad I'm not sure that he did use engineering grade adhesive, perhaps Sam can post up what he used.

Like others have said this not just some ropy Mustang it's a Ferrari supercar, I was expecting a professional repair, last time that I checked pop rivets don't perform well in accidents or crash tests, so the insurnace may be null and void.

[@Iconoclasher]

Depends how one defines "done right". A true "do right" would be to dismantle the car and get a new floor pan from Ferrari and install it. 40 years ago I did a similar repair on my 54 Nash and no one ever noticed or questioned it. Welding is the better choice, but riveting is acceptable.

[@albertsammut433]

A great repair is one that looks as close to original as possible and if original was welded use welding.

[@Kalepsis]

Here we go again... The crack moving forward will continue to expand because you didn't stop-drill it or cut it out and weld in new aluminum. The aluminum you put in is too thin. The panel bond is not strong enough to prevent further crack expansion. You used blind rivets, which are not aluminum and will cause galvanic corrosion, meaning that patch panel will crumble and fall off in a year or less. Stop saying it's a "functional repair"... it's about as functional as a piece of cardboard stapled to the floor.

[@antoinedoinell]

Depends on how much epoxy he shoots in there. If it isolates the area it may not run but like you stated.... to be sure I would drill a hole especially since it is aluminum. Furthermore, I would have taken it to a welder. If you prep it as he did it would cost around the same as what was shown and no worries. I do understand that he was concerned with heat issues... that is why you would put some sort of heat sink between the parts you do not want melted.

IF they don't do J-2534 or have a special adapter that interlocks with the J-2534 connector then we can go the web route. Go get that floor pan done properly and bring value back to the car. Will it cost a couple grand? Maybe but then you'll have a validated repair and that equals more money come sale time because we know you'll sell it eventually.

[@seriousrampage]

Welcome to amateur hour! Wait, that repair is insulting to amateurs.

[@AveryWinders]

Not so sure that was the proper fix for that kind of damage but I am not the expert here. You just screwed the new piece of aluminum into the damaged part of the aluminum. I would have thought a larger piece of aluminum welded into place would be stronger. Let me know what you think guys.

[@floodx4947]

He used rivets, not screws .. and panel bond. That piece isn't going anywhere.

[@AveryWinders]

Shannon Flood I meant to say that he rivited them but what I am saying is that the piece he rivited the aluminum piece into is damaged

[@torquemada6781]

in Germany we call this kind of repair "Pfusch"....even the shadiest used car dealer would be ashamed

[@corwinweber693]

See, we're Americans. ....the concept of any used car dealer having anything even remotely resembling shame is pretty foreign to us.

That floor is the reason I would never buy a car from this man. It is not FIXED, merely covered up the damage. The bent floor is still there and not square. Too many shortcuts. Sometimes there is a reason for doing things the right way.

[@2IR2]

A tip with the sealer, dip you gloved finger into rubbing alcohol and run it along the seal to smooth it out.

[@ZoidPickle]

2IR2 a tip for your car, Set fire to it, away from Your house lol

[@alano2875]

I'm addicted to your videos. Love the resourcefulness. Personally, I would have gone with another sheet of aluminum bonded on the inside and riveted as a sandwich. As long as you stay on the road, I'm sure it will be fine.

Based on these videos, I think I’m comfortable offering you $1500 for the car...

Likely Needs plugs and coils. Plugs need replaced often in Ferrari’s. I think this is likely since in one of the first videos Sam said he couldn’t find maintenance records. However plugs and coils can be had relatively cheap and there are several sources other then the dealer just like the pump which he’s correct has been a known substitute for Ferrari 360 for the better part of ten years. And again I’ll say again that the timing belt likely needs at least inspected.

[@weabooedgelordiv1621]

@Stephen Ablett Hmm, interesting opinion. I'd rather be the guy with a beauty like that than be the guy speculating though.

[@actschp1]

pro tip. if you wet your fingers w alcohol you can smoothen the sealer nicely w your fingers and make it look nicer vs using a tools

[@RobsRidesPA]

Having done tons of body work over my career and fixed lots of wrecked cars, there is nothing about this repair that is acceptable to structurally good.

[@MsCastanheira]

Come on, man! Why didn't you tig weld it? That looks so sloppy... I would not do such thing to my Toyota...

[@vladk163]

I would do this to no car it would bother me everytime I drive it

[@michaelovitch]

You should have welded the floor. Aluminium is not difficult to weld,and the repair would have been more than decent compared to your riveted patch.

[@rickydenton1982]

Aluminium as thin as that is a total ass to weld!

[@quilg]

Literally no one: Samcrac: Did you get a new watch?

[@mariodesmo]

It's a $10(for foreigners, $2 for locals) Chinese watch available at any Chinese back alley in Shanghai, Beijing, or Hong Kong... Seriously.

[@g60vwr]

That was bootleg. Shouldve just paid to have the cracks welded back together. I understand it was not a visible repair, but this was like you had to knock something out before dinner was ready

[@penryar]

Wow, just Wow, that floor repair is next level bodge. It is the sort of repair that would make a buyer walk away from a car regardless of the standard of the rest of the car. If you've taken that little effort repairing a structural element of the car there is little hope for the rest. But hey, at least you can unlock the car from 150 ft away!!!

[@XZeroBandit]

Innocent question, but wouldn't it be more structurally sound if the under panel was welded instead of glued + riveted?

[@FepXBL]

Yes. He should be using aluminum filler rod, and it would be good as new.

[@Kekkojoker90]

Yes and wouldnt cost even that much.

[@enfynet]

Vtuned would have welded it

[@adriansilburn8722]

Sam that repair looks likes it's form a back street garage in the 70's.

[@900108Chale]

[@studog05]

Sam, the alarm motherboard is fried. In the bonnet there is a metal panel held on with two screws (drivers side) inside and underneath is the alarm motherboard which controls the chirping sound that you should be hearing when you arm/disarm the car with the key fob. For 360 model years 2000-2002 the NiCad batteries were soldered to the motherboard. When the batteries go bad the acid in the batteries when they degrade can fry the motherboard and the siren. You will need possibly a new alarm motherboard with new batteries and possibly a new siren. When you install the new motherboard and siren, the car will chirp twice when you disarm the immobilizer and unlock the doors. The alarm will chirp once when activating the alarm, locking the doors and activating the immobilizer. On FerrariChat, as long as the motherboard is not fried because of old battery leakage, you can take the old NiCad batteries out and retrofit the motherboard with a 9V wiring harness for positive and negative and a regular 9V battery is sufficient enough to operate the alarm motherboard and allow the chirps to happen when arming/disarming the Ferrari. Also, it will allow the siren to work if someone attempts to open/break into your car versus no sound at all and just lights flashing which is happening now. Good luck. It is an easy fix.

Love the Fix Sam " If it makes you happy and works for you, then go for it" haters going to hate.

Crap! Why you done this?! Pls do us a favor and bring the 360 to VTune...

[@dieseljett1]

I really enjoy your videos, although sometimes I wish you would do things a little differently. Would have been nice to see the cracked floor get properly TIG welded up and sanded down smooth. A little more time and money invested could have made that floor damage disappear. Otherwise, thanks for all the great content! Always looking forward to your next project.

[@MrJoebiz24]

The premise of this project is: "budget, diy rebuild", not restoration of a trailer queen. The criticism of the aesthetics is silly, of the structural integrity is another story.....keep on rolling with this project Sam!

Haha, got a chuckle at his version of how far away from the car '25 feet' is while checking the remote. He takes only two actual steps, and is right next to the vehicle.

Jaysus what a botched repair on that floor!!! Where's the reinforcing ribs???

[@DanielC-ho3ev]

That floor is not repaired, its bodged, im a welder, that needs to be cut out and new metal installed. You can do it without greating very much heat at all just takes alot of time using a dab or spot technique, do very little at a time and let it cool basicly and protect wiring or plastics with heat matts

[@BelayeAssefa1]

Sam: When in doubt... panel bond -But Sam, I don't think the structural integ... Sam: I. Said. Panel. Bond.

[@wiskeybear9759]

As an individual whom is new around this channel. That floor repair could of been done a lot better for around the same price. Although, if the cars not being sold, or put in a showroom. Then to each their own. I personally have seen a lot of guys take floorpans out of cars and weld in new ones (yes, I know aluminum is more difficult). But, damn! lol. Keep up the cheap work Sam. You're obviously doing better at this than most of us :D.
