Turning $1 Car into $2000 Car - FERRARI RESTORATION

[@TAGSlays]

Not sure what is more impressive, the final product or the level of fake aging done.

[@JeanLouisSlezak]

How do you know it’s fake aging

[@JustARandomFio]

Definitely the fake aging. Looks like this model was found on a coral riff next to the Titanic. My exact same 1/18 Burago diecast model from the early 80s is still in a pristine status. Ranges from 20 to 100 (the rip-offs) bucks on eBay.

@@rngwrm ....he got yours!!! 😂😂

[@christianvlek]

If i didn't know better , I'd say you used a scabby old bit of mesh as the "before" grill to make the whole car seem worse than it was , because that one you put back in was a remarkably good fit

[@Kaiesis]

This "restoration" is so staged.

[@SoulsOfAmarth]

Dude knows his shit. What do hard to believe about that?

[@catoblepag]

@@SoulsOfAmarth Dudes who know this shit even better are aware this is a staged restoration job, with a lot of fake aging. Don't let people use your lack of knowledge and scam you to get clicks. Having a critical mindset, even if sometimes you'd WANT to believe something is true, is always better at the end of the day.

[@mr.sonnytruth8021]

Love these restoration videos but the restoration customization videos are just amazing especially those guys that turn them into little remote controlled cars

[@Bevportraitartist]

Nice job on replacing the missing door 👍

[@sunnyjoelandry3971]

Love the way you Faith the aging process. Using the paint stripper and then rinsing it off before it had enough time to fully strip the paint off. Was excellent. Like the way you Wheels halfway off and messed up the front grill to make it look like it's been sitting out outside in a dirt for years. But why don't you just show us the whole process to begin with instead of trying faking all that stuff. We would like to see it from the beginning. You can still mess it all up if you want to would, we just like to see you do it. If we're not fools we know what you're doing

Wow don’t watch if it upsets you so much, brutal

[@robertpoudrette4483]

@@JRLK62He speaks the truth! This is fake aging. Just take the car that's not broken, show how to dismantle it and prepare for refinish and be done. Or just show how to age the model!

Brilliant micro engineering brought this beautiful model back to life 👍 well done 👏 Also there’s so many experts watch this restoration I’d take that as a supreme compliment

[@silkwoodart]

Reminds me of when a vacuum salesman would throw dirt on your floor to show you how well he can clean it up.

[@junesurfdog]

finishing a hike in dead horse point state park when I saw a 1959 testarossa drive past me. It was a group of testarossa owners who meet every five years to drive their cars around a specific area. I went to look at the 59 testarossa and then the 57 testarossas started to arrive. one after the other. there were 6 or 7 in total. my favorite car and they were in immaculate condition. what a day.

[@HxTurtle]

this is a KZbin relevant video (mostly in the sense so that people get a better gripe of what my mechanics can do, lol.) -- the exhaust pipes didn't turn out too great, IMHO. pro tip: you've to straighten the wire before you work with it. you do so by bending one end and putting it into a vise and wrap the other end around a pair of pliers while simultaneously squeezing it by starting between the prongs.) then you use your whole bodyweight and lean back and hold the pliers like a handle of a waterski rope; when you now tug on the whole thing, it'll stretch some and become super straight at the same time. you cut the middle piece out et voilà, you've a perfect starting piece. -- this video leaves out many steps; it remains a mystery how all the non-body parts where fixed/made.

[@samuelfellows6923]

[@johncito4313]

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

From the website of the Bburago company that built them. They are still very much in business and offer nearly every part needed to fix or rebuild them. Even on their newer models.

[@tornagawn]

@@BradleyBellwether-oy2qiI think you mean ‘even on their older models’ 😅

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

@tornagawn No, I mean newer. It would make sense to offer replacement parts for older models. But they make replacement parts for models they just started offering.

[@legregio2]

Only one thing. This is NOT a model of the Ferrari Testarossa introduced in 1984, but it represents the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, so called because of cam covers painted in red, a tradition shared with other models. at 1:19 on the bottom, under the Ferrari logo it can be read "250 Testa Rossa (1957)"

[@cecoya]

That turned out pretty cool. Have a wonderful day

Very nicely done but the dash, window, and grill aren't the same. A lot of collectors of such items would be upset with the changes.

These restorations are impossible to believe because many destroyed parts magically appear without showing how they were made or obtained.

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

The replacement parts come the Bburago Company that built the cars. I guess he just figured that people would be smart enough to realize that.

Read the description mate

[@tytits]

That's why people should think before they speak. It shows a lot less ignorance. Nowhere in the description in this video does it say that car is a 1984. It references exactly the car you're saying it is. So basically all you did was regurgitate the same information that everybody else could clearly see in the description. Now let's pretend that you have two good eyes, and use them both.

If more people restored things instead of just replacing them with new ones we’d have less waste on our planet. I love thrifting, it’s a fun way to re-use and I love restoring little things that I can at home. There were so many well made things and people took the time to fix them and take care of them, now everything (mostly) is so cheaply made and thrown away.
