It’s really coming along now. Stefano is the man!! He outdid himself on that sticker. 👍🏻 I do fancy that spider logo in the same font as the challenge. I think going with that is best. 👍🏻

Scott, what an incredible job with the project as a whole then subsequently each piece and step thought out. The wiring loom actually doesn't look as bad as some of the early 1980s Ferrari. Congrats on nearing the finish!

When that engine came to life was amazing, incredible sound. Finding Stefano was huge too, hope this episode brings him lots of work. This project is getting more and more exciting, look forward to future episodes.

Congrats, Scott! The build is really taking shape!

Beautiful progress!! I also had an issue with sticky buttons on dash parts on my 03 Porsche. I was able to remove the soft touch paint with brake fluid without damaging the plastic underneath. Then, I just used adhesion promoter and a good quality satin black paint (duplicolor trim paint) which happens to match perfectly with the black leather in my car. Brake fluid is actually caustic enough to attack the soft-touch paint but not so much that it will damage the ABS plastic commonly used on interior car parts. Seems like, the cheaper the brake fluid, the better it worked, lol. There may be other methods but this works great for me. Just a tip for anybody trying to fix this issue. Cheers from the Caribbean

I remember the comment I made at the beginning of the project: the result ? Two wrecked cars, a challenge and a spider. Boy, what was I wrong ?!? The eye for detail shown episode after episode, shows us what a nice piece of car you are creating. No, it’ll never be an original Ferrari, but it surely is something that could match and exceed the original one. Do compare it to a Brabus … nobody states: it’s a pitty that a Benz was sacrified for this Brabus. My point: you have proven that the endresult is better than the perfection at the beginning.

As I've replied before (for fun) to a guy who had spotted the mistake , we were problably too under "pressure" while working on it :) jokes a part, clearly disappointed to present my company in this way (as it was something common!) but perfect one is already on its way - I take the chance to tell you I'm glad to see it's full of precise people out there: we LOVE working for people who care details.

As someone who's created a lot of vector artwork based on modernised, customised, and English version reproductions of OEM Japanese decals, I know all too well how easy it is to miss the odd detail, especially when recreating fonts. It doesn't seem to matter how many times you look at something, until alternative pairs of eyes get to look it over, you can be sure something will slip by!

You're looking at "shapes", rather than text, and concentrating so hard to get the geometry correct, that it's easy to overlook a spelling mistake or incorrect number. Even when you stare at the finished product for 5 minutes, you just can't see an error, and it's not until "fresh eyes" look on the work, that a problem is spotted.

Devils in the details no doubt..

I'm sure it's been mentioned Scott but I'm too lazy to read all the comments. Tyre PSI the wrong way around on the sticker being made by the cool Italian dude.

The car is looking damn good! I hate to break to to you, but there is an error on the tyre sticker.... ☹️ 2 bar is 29psi. 2.2 bar is 32 psi. On the stickers, the numbers are switched..... 😭

My guess with the tyre pressure sticker is it goes on the left side either RHD or LHD.

Like a big puzzle but slowly coming together, btw are you coming with the Stradale Spider to Brooklands at the end of this month?

Blinding!

Great build Scott, nearly finished now. Are you going to advise the costs involved at all once completed ?

i had a 04 volvo s40 that the key barrell stopped being able to turn to position 3, easist fix i fitted a momentary button to the dash board near the key. wired it straight into the terminals for position 3 on the key barrel. instant start button

so many details... how you keep remembering all that things that needs to be done with your own car and some other projects ?

isn't 2.2 bar equivalent to 32 psi and 2.0 bar to 29 psi?

What's going on with the BBi??? Dying here!

Did you notice that your new door panel sticker has the tyre pressures reversed? 2.0 BAR is less than 2.2 BAR. So 2.0 BAR = 29 PSi and 2.2 BAR = 32 PSi. Yours is reversed - so not only does show its fake, but you will risk inflating the tyres wrong. Not recommended on any supercar!

On the new door opening sticker, the psi numbers are the wrong way round .

When you get a brand new item with that has this velvet-like rubbery coating, it feels so nice but they degrade soooo quickly. I have several PC mouse that has that coating and it makes you want to throw out a perfectly functional hardware because that sticky feeling is so gross. I used denatured alcohol to remove it, the surface is no longer that nice, it can turn into a shiny plastic or even dull discolored plastic but it's better to the touch. Final stretch?
