Finally an actual good microbrand. Glad Kyle is advertising with you. He makes awesome watches with Straton.
You paid too much for a sitting, nonrunning car
@@user-hc9qv9yb9m He paid that or it continued to rot. But when done, it will repay handsomely.
Restorossa on bullrun, AWESOME!!😁
@@user-hc9qv9yb9m Showing your ignorance there.
Have to give a huge shout out to whoever is letting you use their garage and tools full time. You could not ask for a better friend! Without that you would be dead in the water before you even began.
it's Carrozzeria in Maidenhead, he did make a special video promoting them and thanking them for the space
I admire the quality and attention to detail. I could never do it, I don't have the patience. I can't imagine what a professional would charge to do all the stuff your doing yourself. Truly a heroic effort.
Take it one step at a time.
Or one job at a time.
Scott is actually making good progress on this build.
When this all started and you said you'd restore it all, I thought you'd just be like other youtubers that get the engine running, fix the leaks and detail the engine bay and paint.
BUT MAN, you are really going to town on this one. At the end, it'll be worth quite a bit, and all documented on video.. Massive efforts and patience from you.
We all appreciate :)
Please take time to create a photo inventory before you send anything off to the painters or platers. This is to protect you and the outside companies. You have a ton of small parts there
CRITICAL!
Been there! Makes me cringe putting everything in one box, I took photos, bagged and labelled everything and still struggled to remember where everything went.
He’s videoing the whole thing!
He must literally know this car back to front inside out otherwise there’s no way to know where the hundreds of small parts go.
He probably has it imprinted in his brain. His passion for Ferrari’s seems to be a day in day out hobby. I don’t think I’ve seen him work on any other make of car.
The most overriding aspect I take from your videos is your never ending optimism!
Honestly, I'd have been in a crumpled heap after the first video but you just keep striding onwards and upwards, nothings a problem.
Superb lesson and inspiration to everyone really, and absolutely great to watch you!
Hi Scott, When I do restoration, I tag and number each item, with masking tape or x-mas tags, I make a logbook with all the numbers in and a note to ref a photo taken or preposed works, I put small bits in takeaway tubs and Sharpie on the lid, It sounds bit anal...lol but it has really helped me not get confued and I don't feel so over my head with things...!
Love the channel Scott, Your doing a great job...be positive and don't take any notice of negative losers...(: (:
My Mind is totally blown! I actually started feeling slightly sick at the thought of you working through all that lot on your lonesome, then having to trust that nothing will get lost when its away, and finally remember how to reassemble it all in a month of two.
Hats off to you buddy, you are braver than me this time round. I cant wait to see the next installments, if you need a labourer to help take some of the strain then like many others I would be delighted to help if you need it!
Amazing!
BTW, time to get the air compressor out to reinflate the tires on the 360! Thanks for the wonderful update, what a labor of love (and sweat) putting this BB back together.
How are you going to remember which nut and bolt goes where? No labeling? Still a monumental task. This is my favorite CZcams entertainment currently, glued to each episode! Good luck brother!
The car manual will show you what is what and what goes where.
I would be more worried about parts going missing.
It's on video..
@@betterireland1 are you talking about the owner’s manual?
@@Big_M_T No, probably the workshop repair manual..
My god man, how the hell are you keeping track of everything! I’d be sitting there with a million little baggies labeling everything. Guaranteed if I didn’t I’d be loosing bits left right and center.
Been there, done that. And it was even not to this extent, but man, was I happy and thankful for Zip Lock ! 😳
If he forgets where anything goes, at least he knows of a good CZcams channel that's filmed a guy disassembling one!
This is my favourite series on CZcams at the moment, love the content!
As a programmer, I found this is equivalent to revamp a 20+ year old software down to each piece of source code, line by line, with almost no modification in code structure.
This is complete hardcore restoration / maintenance, no modern transformation, just pure OEM restoration.
Keep the huge will and perseverance, and enjoy the glory afterword.
Massive respect with the boxer, stepping your skills up to proper resto guru from ambitious diy mechanic, respect, and how you have the patience to create such pro content while undoubtedly struggling for days and probably losing a lot of skin. Cant wait for the next one.
Aside from the cost, having to film all this to keep us eager punters happy, I genuinely don’t know how you keep track of where everything goes on something this mind boggling complex… I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, best project on CZcams bar none!!! Brilliant work lad!!!👌
Once this car is finished you will be entitled to all the bragging rights because 99% of all the work comes from your hands. Hats off to you for rather spending your time restoring this master piece than leaving it up to others to fix it up for you.
Just think how much you're fans will love you for having done this the right way, though. This car deserves your best. And, hey, "heat it and beat it" is an accepted disassembly technique.
I don’t know how you’re going to remember where everything goes when you come to reassemble, but that’s a very thorough job you’re doing, impressive!
He has it on video!
I have no idea either. Even if you just asked me to put everything he took apart in this video I couldn’t do it! And this is just one video!!!
Shame he hasn't recorded any of it isn't it?!
ITT a bunch of people who have no idea the amount of work it takes to disassemble and reassemble an ENTIRE CAR.
But it’s on video!
Your commitment to this project is inspirational. I’m sure it is as daunting as it will be satisfying, and we’re all by your side to support you as best we can. Keep up the great work!
As a Mercedes collector, I know that a job like this on a classic Mercedes 300 SL from the 1950's would cost at least $500,000 if a good shop were to attempt such a restoration. You are saving a lot of money.
I’m amazed you are taking this car apart like this. When you were asking AMMO NYC about how to clean it properly, I never thought you would go down this path. Keep up the great work.
Someone walked away on this car before, but you didn't. The passion is what keeps cars like this from fading into rusted scrap. It's going to be stunning, like a time capsule.
A few years ago I restored my gt750 Suzuki motorcycle & feel your pain , I have a fair sized garage & with 2 other motorcycles I had to reassemble it in a 10ft space & was forever looking for the parts, thoroughly enjoyed doing it, learned a lot from it,so I’m following your restoration, you could get yourself a small bead blasting cabinet & do a lot of the small stuff yourself, top job mate
Scott, i did a ground up rebuild, full nut and bolt before we had phone cameras, video and the internet. I loved the finish it was all worth it, yours is just alot more money. Take your time and you will have something so special and that is the memories and that you did it yourself
Hats off to anyone doing a pan off restoration of any car! It's the Pain of Victory that keeps You going!
I hope you remember where all those nuts and bolts go lol. What a mammoth job !
simple, record yourself taking it apart and play it in reverse. 😂
@@Pantovinator That's what I was thinking. Combined with a service manual, it should be easy peasy!
Never give up! You got this bud! We have been watching, and this will run again on the streets! No big deal man. Nuts and bolts. Not sending a rocket to the moon. For cryin out loud. Do this! Awesome channel.
This is some of your best work since the 308, 'cause you're one of the few I see getting right in there, down and dirty! Fantastic. I think you'll be justifiably proud of your work.
Exactly the reason why i ceased trying to repair and maintain my classic car myself. I just have the garage do it, a very experienced guy! A deep bow to all this work you are able to do! Good thing you’re filming everything! Otherwise impossible to rebuild the puzzle!!
youre working so hard on this, the passion is real
It looks like it is coming along great! I couldn't help but to stare at the low front tire in the beginning of the video. 😄 Anyone else?
Totally agree. That was my comment too!
even Lower profile front nearside 🤔😁
On a restoration project such as this, I would invest in a glass bead cabinet for all of these small parts. Additionally, when you reassemble the CV joints, I would use a grease called Neo grease. It’s a cost effective high quality grease that I use in the drive axles of Porsche race cars. You can also use a scotchbrite pad on a die grinder to polish the CV joint races which will make them last longer.
Wow I do hope no-one takes this as a DIY guide! :) You’re really taking EVERYTHING apart.. Uneccessary if you just want to freshen things up & change bushings etc. The coil: replace (its old) the AC compressor: replace (no preassure for years destroys the gaskets)
FULL POINTS FOR THE LEVEL OF ENERGY THO!! 🤘🏻
Looks crazy with all them nuts and bolts.....but for people that love to work stuff like this allways find the wright nuts and bolts to put it back together, I really understand why you are doing all the work for the looks even if you dont see it afterall.
I hope you have cataloged each piece. Because from the mountain of pieces that I see disassembled, I think it would be impossible to remember exactly where they are to be assembled ...
Definitely I feel total solidarity with you when brushing dirt and rust... so many time and pain but value of a restoration come from those moments!! Complexity and nobility of Ferrari comes also through plenty of bits for suspensions and hubs. Anyway quality of those original cast parts after 40year is incredible! Keep going, great videos, amazing job! Go go GO we cant see the time when replayed and powdered parts will go back again!!
Next level restoration!! I am so pleased you decided to go all the way, unbelievable amount of work though, your eyes will start turning everything you see into Ferrari Boxer parts!!
That is great! Way beyond what I did on the 911. I took over 900 photos and still didn't have enough. I was sooo glad I had the video too. For me, it was all the bolts and such in context. Did it have a washer? was it thick? All the plating came back in a single bag. Hundreds of pieces... Even with all the photos of them grouped in assemblies, it took a lot of work to sort it all out. We also ceramic coated all the exhaust and it looks killer. Did it on the 308 and it is holding up really well. But only a few shops here can do the ceramic. This is going to look sooo good when you start putting it all back together! That will be so fun! Awesome work as always!! F
Man, you are the real deal, well done thus far. Can’t wait for trying to reassemble it!
Zinc coating on ALL THE BOLTS !!! TRUST ME! The bolts will stay rust resistent for years. Good luck ! I still rewatch the old videos just because i like them.
Oboy - that moment when you realize your frame-off resto or custom build is now one vehicle taking up the space of three:) Clear plastic sandwich-bags and a roll of masking tape are lifesavers when it comes to keeping everything in order. The other option is to find a couple of bolts laying around after you've finished the project and spend many a sleepless night wondering when something is going to fall apart or blow up.
I found this tip to free seized metal parts. You should try it. "Do you deal with a lot of rusty nuts? Go down to the hardware store and buy some acetone, a quart of Dexron Mercon and a refillable spray bottle. In the spray bottle mix the ATF and acetone in a 1:1 mixture.
Spray away and get your nuts loose!

I am not much of a car guy. I do like these video's though. However I am very much an avid watch collector, so I can give a bit of insight on the sponsor. These are very solid watches. It's not like a mvmt or anything, that's a cash grab from some marketing guy, who sells $20 Chinese watches for $200+. These are proper watches created by a watch enthusiast. The mechanical movement is an eta movement, and this is pretty much the best 3rd party movement company you can source from. These movements are swiss made, and have been used in Omega's, as they are owned by the same company (Swatch group). Very few eta movements are found in $1,000 watches. This is a watch you can be proud to own, and will last for decades.
it truly is a lovely watch ive been wearing a lot this week
Thank you for for showing us how hard these restorations are in real life,I have been watching too much car SOS and thought that I did not know how to Restore my Jensen interceptor.Thank you for keeping real.
Honestly coming from someone who does restorations you have really made your life hard not bagging and labeling all the nuts and bolts and parts you are getting plated
Great to see a post on the BBi project. Can't wait to see more. My hat's off to you for the effort!
Love this project. Its going to be amazing. You might want to consider putting parts in plastic sandwhich bags and labeling them. Youll never get all those parts back in the right places. Cant wait to see the end result. Car is going to be beautiful
Thank you for all your hard work, and carrying us along on this journey.
incredible how much effort you put into this project to make it absolutely new again... hopefully you know what has to fit where when the puzzle needs to be put together again,
love it Scott ...
So satisfying seeing those parts cleaned! Keep it up mate! You got my support 100%!
Your videos are seriously under-appreciated. Very impressive and inspiring work you're doing. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
So much work + all the time editing and creating videos. Thanks for bringing us along. Love it!
When you put your CV joints back together be sure to look closely at the race and make sure it is symmetrical. One side may be wider or curved a little different. If it is different and you have it flipped when installing the joint will bind.
Love watching you work. You've got way of showing how, as well as what, that is equally informative and entertaining - that's just a brilliant combination. If learning was always like this, everyone would be a genius! Thanks a lot.
While I may run an F car, it is with extreme interest to see the esoteric suspension and drive gear on display and disassembled of the sublime Ferrari BB.
Its also interesting how Ferrari makes the less important things very light (a less is more ethos), yet overbuilds where needed in driveline, suspension and brakes. Making them ahead of their time compared to contemporary road cars. A great endurance racing heritage on display.
I like how you roll and appreciate the content!
Checked out a mint red one today...total stunner. Love the patience and tenacity. Keep going it will all be worth it!
Doing a fantastic job mate. Keep it up. And everything you're learning will make future projects much easier, less timing consuming and ultimately cheaper to do.
i found that taking a lot of photos helps. I restore old motorcycles as a hobby. I enjoy watching the progress
Watching enthusiastically from Seoul, Korea 🇰🇷 You're doing an amazing job and I'm looking forward to your progress!
Dude. Been watching this whole build. I cannot believe how monumental a task this is. Kudos for days. My old 911 seems like a walk in the park in comparison.
Much respect to you Scott for the work you are putting in. If you did a 80% resto you, or anyone, would wonder why it didn't go the full 100. It's an all in move and I'm so willing you to succeed with this project.
HOLY SHEEP SH*T! You have gone way beyond where I thought you would with this one! Keep up the good work!
I am totally blown away watching this. This being my 1st ever total rebuild viewing. Much admiration.
Scott. For the hubs, I have bought a 3 spoke hydraulic puller. It is like a bottle jack and it is so much better than the 3 spoke with the drill you used. 25 gbp on ebay and does amazing work
It’s good to see you took your workbench/ storage bench for a drive
Astonishingly thorough work.. I really didn't expect you were going to go quite this deep! Kudos.
Once you have everything back from plating , powder coating , the chassis and body paintwork done ,,,,, you will enjoy the assembly with everything being fresh . I can`t wait to go all the way through my 81` Porsche 928 Comp package car .
14:25 to get it back on real quick is to heat up the hub in an oven and put the shaft in the freezer, and then it will fall right into place without hamering
or the need to press it in place.
Kompliments, dass der wirklich ALLE Teile auseinander nimmt , sich ansieht , neu gestaltet und dann erst wieder zusammenbaut. Und das grundsätzlich, Prima !!
Amazing how people comment and say stuff... until you are doing it you just don't know.. even a majority of mechanics would struggle with a restoration as its outside of their normal working skill set. I just bought a Vapour Blaster.. even before getting full dismantled getting the crud off makes Johnny 5's least favourite thing easier! Disassembly after cleaning a thread or two makes the world of difference. Plating is a waste of money once you have a DIY plating kit.. you won't pay for plating ever again... You have to learn fast on restoration work and if you don't have any skills you'll learn all the way through but don't be put off.. get those sleeves rolled up and get stuck into things.. Start with a bicycle and work your way up for restoring simple things.
A litre of Fertan rust converter will make sure grit blasted parts are fully clear. Also use a phosphate primer before powder coat aluminium is best etch primed before coating.
Talk to Chris Ward at CJ Ward in Burton on Trent. He does a lot for bike and car restorers.
There are alot of Ferrari's all over CZcams lately. This one is by far the most interesting. It helps that this is my favorite Ferrari of the era. I hope it looks like the best specimen of itself like it did when it was parked...
When you are done with it...if you go 100% original...think of it this way... you could use the value of the car by selling it to fund another "bigger" project...maybe not an F40 yet but...something to get you there. Cheers, loving the series.
love how you just throw all the bolts in the "plating box" together like I would remember what was what 10 mins later
Exactly my thought, every nut and bolt should have been placed in a plastic bag with a note where it should go....
I learned this lesson the hard way on my 914 restoration
@@henricloven I think he knows what he is doing. Have more faith.
I bagged and tagged everything only for the plater to give me a big box back as one so it really doesn't matter
How many of these has he restored? Nobody is that good unless you have done it 30 40 times over
Squirting in diesel will dissolve the rubber/tac , it depends on the tac used for a sealant . Diesel usually works but it needs time to DE solve/Soften the Tac/Sealant and can stink if it breaks /leaks into the car. Squirt it in and leave it for about 5 days to soften the TAC and then use the line/normal method to cut/push/pull/drag a piece of wire..... I would recommend high tensile fishing line. CHEAP AS CHIPS!
Many of the items you are going to paint would benefit from shot blasting, to remove old paint and rust leaving a clean surface keyed for the paint. There are different levels of abrasives that can be used in the process for fine or course finishes, it's a very quick process,
For those really grimey bits, there's a few things you can do that make the cleaning a LOT easier. Cheapest is a bucket of old gasoline. Of course getting rid of it afterwards can be a chore if you can't do it yourself. Second would be an engine parts washer, carburetor cleaner, or parts washer with mineral spirits. Most expensive it to take the stuff to an engine/transmission rebuilder and have them put it in their industrial washing machine.
To get rid of rust without all of the hand work, you can either do the electrolysis route, or a product called Evap-o-Rust works amazing and it doesn't hurt good paint, plastics, etc.
BTW, I feel your pain...try having to MOVE in the middle of a restoration!
Ah man, I restored a VW Beetle about 10 years ago, and then abandoned a camper project... I know I'm getting old as I'm looking at this rust and effort and shuddering the whole way through :D
What's more fun than tearing it all apart? Remembering how to put it all back together again! Best of luck, this is an awesome project and restoration!
Can't wait for the next episode in the Ferrari BB Project. Fantastic work you do.
The ring that you just made round again was probably distorted by over extension of the suspension in either droop or bump. Worth checking the bump stops or what ever the BB has to limit suspension movement.
Dude, the BB was the best Top Trumps card when I was growing up in the 70s, it's an iconic supercar; one of the greatest. Keep it white and restore it fully, it's utterly wonderful!
Hi Scott glad you are going with the original colour great work as ever all the best Les.
Great video Scott, this has to be the biggest restoration on CZcams! Not sure I'd remember how everything goes back together? 15k jigsaw puzzle
I think we all agree you made the right decision to do nut and bolt restoration. And it is good to see you are making so much work yourself! Keep up the good work!
Like so many others have mentioned, I cannot help but to keep thinking, how is he going to get this all back together? I am also curious about lubricants, greases, torque values, etc. What resources do you have to find all of that information? It seems like it might be tough to come by on a low production vehicle like this. I feel like it would take me years to complete this. This is going to be an incredible project, I cannot wait!
great question and you are very correct on old cars like these limited production the info is scarce. I have WSM and other than that its a case of asking or researching
I’m a car nut and have always wanted a Ferrari. However the only ones in my comfortable price range are 308s and others from the eighties or early nineties. But you have the ability and energy to do the work on your own whereas I am a lazy retired guy. So I’d have to pay to have mine worked on. I bet I couldn’t find anyone to honestly do all the work you’re doing. Also, you have access to a full shop in which to work. I know no one who would freely give me such access and I couldn’t afford to rent it.
I love watching the progress, however I feel a little bit maybe becomes a lot when doing invasive disassembly into some components. Don't get lost in "nut and bolt", when sometimes less is more. For example, Ferrari made a part, with exacting tolerance. And then some plating jack at a plating shop screws the pooch and lays a real thick coat on by accident and you've got lots of fun assembling your part. Just my humble opinion, i really love your car.
That Boxer is going to be brand new when you are done!
Eastwood in America sells some great cadmium plating spray to reproduce that factory finish.
Don’t forget to bare in mind the plating will add a thickness to any holes you get re plated, shouldn’t be an issue for most as it’s usually only microns but that suspension arm was tiiight
This is a job of mammoth proportions but you will enjoy it immensely and will be glad you did it right. This is a rare and beautiful piece of machinery. And it looks awesome in white.
Take photos of all the pieces on white paper with numbers of each component . Create a drop box folder for each section of the car. EG front left suspension. Then when you send stuff of the to the platers you can share the photo folder with the supplier. No excuses for losing parts then ! Both a record for you and who ever is doing the external work. You do not want to loose these parts : )
1:53 Tagging and bagging, boxes boxes boxes. Having a system or creating one to keep the parts organized will help tremendously. You seem to have a serious case of project creep. I once had that. The car is still sitting....
I know the feeling! Wrapping up a similar project right now.
Got a flat on the Strad Rata - nearside mate 👍
Lovely job continues - this is going to be so special when it’s done.
Not worth bagging the parts up, so it’s easy to ID what goes where? You’ll never remember where it all goes!
I have absolutely loved all the hard work you have done on this. Been a joy to watch this process. I think you are nuts for doing it. but its fun to watch.
Really is nut and bolt! All credit to you Scott - I think it's the right thing to do. The quantity of bits tho - I hope you're keeping notes!
I take my hat off to you! Stripping that all down at once and going into a big box to send off. By the time it comes back will you know what goes where!
Not a ferrari fan myself... Only like the 80s ones. But this channel is awesome.
So good to see you taking this on like its just any other car.
