I appreciate that he is restoring it to factory specifications. It’s the right thing to do, and no genuine car was sacrificed in building the spider. This build is a fantastic reward even though it cost a bit of money. It was worth it. I hope you enjoy the car, or the profit from the effort. I however would be more tempted to sell the black one to pay for the expenses, and enjoy the prime example instead of worrying about profit. I’d be more about the experience and owning the best example as long as I didn’t lose financially.

@@filipkodes2891 really how do you know?

I believe that startbutton is from the 1999-00 Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo Plus. The same, but gloss red, sat in the 1998 Coupe 20V Turbo LE (limited edition). In case you’d like one. Actually, lots of other various stuff like caps, interior lamps, stalks etc are the same in the Fiat too.

Keep the fiat replacement button. It looks really great in silver on that carbon centerdash. I hate it when someone basically blackmails you like that. But your gonna be finished now and the car is really liking great 👍🏻

The impressive bit, to me, is the knowledge base here.. Scott has such a deep understanding of the differences in the models, and sub-models. Fitting this Ferrari to create an accurate clone Strad, yet adding some personal touches. Very cool to watch!

Its so refreshing to have a great automotive content creator that doesnt involve constant new car, which car next videos. Your a very talented chap.

I've lived in Czech Republic for my last 8 years, and the car market is horrendous in here, scammers are everywhere, and if they sniff foreigner, they'll try to screw you even faster and curse you while doing it. When a country only applies mild fines to used car dealers for changing the km of a car (when in the most of western Europe it's a criminal offence with jail time if needed), they have their fun left right and centre. And it's not just to cars, but the automotive sector is shadier than the centre of a black hole.

sympathy for you Scott. As you say, what goes around, comes around. No matter how long it takes. Crummy lock_up.

You are a gentleman and an ace Ferrari rebuilder. Much good fortune to you.

You should post who he is and what dealer so people know to avoid dealing with them

Minute 10:23 you could have stopped by in Luxembourg to say hi! 😂

This Stradale is looking fabulous, Scott!! Your attention to detail is really paying off. ✌🏻🇺🇸

You did the right thing being you're hunting down unicorn parts, but yeah it is a shame that there are people out there that will take full advantage of your circumstances. Thanks for the video!!!

Scott the silver button does look like metal, red button looks like plastic !

“Nobody will know how to start my car” - pulls up KZread, watches this video, starts car… Do it up right, go ahead and get the red start button AND that way others will be able to also get a replacement part. Keep up the awesome work!!!

Get a "start" decal, and apply it to the silver button cover, then put a coat of clear over it. Looks much better than the gaudy red button and will last until you get a flash aluminium one made :)

Hi Scott I seen that water lock in the Ferrari live as I was just a couple of meters away lol, the "co-pilot" wasn't impressed 😁 but was a nice day. The 360 are for sure one of the easiest Ferrari's to work on, from Samcrac to NormalGuySuperCar working on them I can see why DIY people love them. Amazing car this one. :) Did you ever thought in installing a Forza Componenti exhaust valve controller on it so you can open them and close like you want?! Regarding the parta scam some people are unfortunately like that, they took advantage of the fact you drove all that distance, but for sure if you bought them is because you seen that was worth. Have a nice weekend.

Hi Scott, Love your work mate, just a quick question? if you couldn’t bring some of the parts you got “had over” on and there were less parts than you had originally agreed on, would you have had enough space for all the parts originally agreed if everything was there? Really don’t want to come across as pedantic but ? Asking for a friend 😉

It's irresponsible to not name this company.

Scott your a better man than I am, I would name & shame them, I also would have got a photo of the guy at the lock up too, damn nice job you've done putting the car back together again though, Rj in Oz

Telling the truth is NOT shaming

There are more good people out there than bad, stay honest and your conscience is clear. You did all the right things and he took advantage of your long journey, but it will come back and bite him. It's amazing that you can not be bitter about him and just move on so good on you.

I think the silver start button looks great. Fits the vibe of the car.

Sorry you got scammed, it is a bit wild out there in the east! Saw you went past Plzen, I lived there for 3 years. It is a good place to get bodywork done, lots of Germans use it as it's cheaper, but generally good quality.

Name and shame. You are not lowering yourself to their level, you will likely stop others being subject to the same con. These scam artists rely on you being too nice and not saying anything, thus perpetuating the con.

Acceptance that Challenges come along the Stradale is what made this channel, true Ratarossa Spirit, make it work even if it’s dirty.

Get the fiat button lazer engraved and paint engraving red? Great find there Scott👍🏻

You should definitely give everyone a heads up about this guy and his shoddy business dealings.

Name and shame is telling the truth. It’s not stooping to their level! The guy lied to your face!

I understand your point, and I might be a bit harsh now. But not naming and shaming scammers will just let them continue to scam other people. And if those people also wants to "be the bigger man and not name and shame" then it will just be a continuous problem.

Lol…is that a fiat coupe plus button like mine!? Nice one Ant in Bedford!! Nice of him to donate his old coupe to Alex Kersten too…wicked…

Karma is a real thing. You're doing the right thing and I'm sure this person will lose a lot of business in the future. You'll see it for yourself..

A difficult situation ref the parts, but if you got what you needed, then job done, & the trip wasn't a waste. Onwards & upwards! 🙏🙏

Leave the ignition key as is. Looks better

That's going to be such a pretty car. I love the idea of it being a faithful CS but with a few improvements, and the interior basically back to how it was on day one. Shame about the scammer, you're a bigger man than me for being so gracious. As you say though, karma awaits. Keep up the great work.

Sometimes when this happens all the luck needs is a little bit of WD-40 to loosen up from years of corrosion. The ignition is normally the one that always works the door locks tend to get trouble. This tends to happen with freshly cut keys even if the original still works.

Love that red/black interior it’s looking sweet

By naming them you’d be doing the community a massive favour. Another great video, Scott.

Red button would b the business brother,lovely bit kit u have there!👌👍👊👊

Keep the Fiat knob as an hommage 👍🏽 Greetings from Stockholm Sweden.

I miss seeing the Testarossa... do something with it pls.. The ratarossa sound wins over any modern!

Hi Scott I think you did the right thing, even though its a bitter situation, least you got the parts out of it you needed, is the engine itself still the original ? or is that in the spider now ? Regards Mike AKA MEC from MEC-TEC

Make sure you re-seal that weather seal really good that is inside the door, it protects your door cards from moisture.

The red Start button would be good but that silver button would look very nice with Start engraved in black on it.

Sadly, companies like this get away with this too often. There was a VW T4 specialist in Germany, who often sold defective and dirty parts online, the auctions always told you to call, and when you called and they said the part is still there, they often sent you one that looked the same but had a different part number and in case of electronics didn't always work in your car. Some people did do a good deal on personal pickup though, sometimes they had some stuff they hadn't sorted through going for cheap, and so their online reputation stayed just ok-ish. They then tried some kind of investment scam though, went bankrupt, apparently didn't have enough money to pay off the debtors, but suddenly a lot of the "lost" inventory showed up on another Ebay-account from the person who ran the shop last time, and it seems he is back to his old shenanigans, again with enough (fake?) review praising him as a source for used parts. Its guys like these, and other "retro" shops that always buy up reproduction runs of spare parts in bulk and then sell them for double the factory price, that give small shops a bad reputation. With the larger ones you know that they are shit anyway :D

Although nice I would fit original look button and do car justice, keep great vids coming 👍👍

Thank you for this video

Scott, at least you were wise enough to go there in person...... just think what would have happened if you had the parts ("missing parts") shipped!

Keep the aluminum start button. And have it engraved with START en red lettering. Also, sell the silver CS to finance an F40 rebuilt. Go! Any progress on the BBi?

Great project!

Upload the next video tomorrow!!! I need to see it!

I wouldn’t say you got scammed. You were deceived. A classic bait and switch. Screw those guys. You made the right choice to swallow your price. Parts for these cars isn’t easy to find. They will never amount to nothing doing business like that and they aren’t worth naming. You are a gentleman sir.

That’s called bait and switch.. and here in the USA it’s illegal. He baited you in with a deal..and since you went, he switched the deal up.. and since you drove the long distance you felt obligated to buy the parts instead of going home empty handed.

Name and shame. He's probably done this to many others and got away with it. Advertise loads of parts to attract people to his listing and then sell the parts they are willing to sell.

Wow there easy to find if u have 5 mins but as u said your not naming and shaming but they should know that there's not many super car breakers in Prague 😂great build and the car looks amazing well done sir ❤️

You def SHOULD name and shame them! That's no way to make business... 😡

I could not sell it after all of this. its perfect Scott

I like the Alu button sans the "start" engraving, but I could see dressing it up in anodized Red, or Blue, and given the low cost of the Fiat bit, a little experimentation wouldn't cost too much money.

Don't think subscribers will buy Ferrari parts in Prague anytime soon.

I think you did the right thing despite how gut wrenching it must have been. If nothing else it’s sped up the build by having the parts you needed, and who knows if you’d have found them anywhere else at a price within your budget.

I think this switch looks good and sturdy, get it painted or anodized in red colour start can be engraved in it

Not much you could have done really, they knew you were a difficult position knowing how far you had come. Very dodgy people, word will get out though.

It’s nice you’re not naming the scammers. Now they get to scam other people without them knowning :)

On a smaller scale I was scammed in similar way for VW Corrado parts back a few years ago. When people have rare and scarce parts they often get multiple offers and that messes things up.

I love the silver starter myself mate .

Keep the start button but get a red start label, only the letters though, red on silver would look amazing!

Button looks nice with the interior, maybe just maybe have the top engraved with Start or CSRat lol
