Strad, make sure to look at the salvage yards in Dubai. I’ve already seen salvage 812s popping up after the recent floods. Chances are if you could find a strut tower there, it wouldn’t be destroyed. Because it’s an aluminum part, it shouldn’t rust, but you could still double check corrosion.

My point is that it’s worth looking into. It’s certainly a better idea than, say, trying to repair the existing strut lol.

If worst comes to worst, and you can’t register the car because of the structural damage, put the new kit on it and make it pure, no bs track car. Part out the seats and everything else that would add weight, get the money, get a rollbar and all other essentials. I do miss the 430 challenge, that car was something else.

James, I worked in aerospace for a lot of years. We used a piece of equipment that a company called Direct Dimensions Inc both sells as well as offers services to produce an exact digital copy. The digital copy can be turned into a CAD file to have a part produced from what everyone now calls "Billet" aluminum, steel or laser 3D printing. Before I'd use a cast part, I'd get a part produced from a solid block of aluminum.

You could do a tube frame chassis tied into a full cage, that way there's a whole new, stronger structure supporting the struts and protecting the driver. Just good luck passing inspection with that. Ontop of using that structure to mount the suspension, you could also modify suspension geometry like using cantilevers and longer control arms.

Hey! If it costs that much for that aluminum piece, I bet you could find another wrecked 812 on copart or other salvage auctions, and when it's all said and done you have a candidate for your wall car!

Ferrari is probably about the most hated, yet loved brand of the car scene. Hated for their price gouging, pretentious attitude towards new buyers, and several other things, but those are the most prominent. Loved, because their simply one of the most Iconic brands known, and they have a tendency to produce some epic beasts of machinery.

Here is what you do. You find another 812 hit in the rear and get all the parts you need and then sell the leftover parts. You should have an extra engine and lots of usable parts to make up the difference in parts. Send the dash and seatbelts to L and D solutions. They specialize in repairing deployed dashes and seatbelt repair after deployment. They are certified and stand behind their work. You can have all that stuff fixed for a fraction of the price. There is currently a 812 for sale on Global Auto Auctions stie with left front damage. You only need the right front so that would work for you and then you sell everything.

Bro I started watching you when you got fired from your accounting job and I took a break for a bit and just decided to check out this entire episode. Glad I did! So cool to see how well you are doing 💪🏾🔥

Sorry to hear that man! Many channels opt out to get into wrecked vehicles, repairing them and showing the possibility of owning crazy expensive car somewhat at the fraction of the cost - the ulgy truth that comes out is that many of these vehicles are poor candidates for projects like that. Sigh unseen - major trouble #1... re-sell value is unpredictable major trouble #2 in this ordeal - so, I would have voted against... next time, do a pole of what your fans think, and use that to your advantage ...

The dually actually is widebodied. Most times when you run 22.5s or larger you get widebody rear fenders. I love that truck. I used to have a bagged and bodied version that was stolen
