Not too bad for an 11 year old car...

Car was not finished before my client needed to leave, so I will be working on it a few evenings next week at his house, before he takes it to the next Ferrari owners meet.

It was a lovely car to work on. 11 years old and only 17.5k miles on the clock :eek:
One of only 2 RHD Ferrari F355 Spiders with the manual gearbox and the full Fiorano package (10mm lower, 10mm wider and bigger brakes to name a few changes).

He wants me to take a look at his Caterham, and give his RS4 a spruce up also, so I will be doing them sometime in the near future, along with his plane :eek:

I'll be sure to stick some photos up of the Ferrari once it is 100% complete.

Cheers

Paul
 
Stunning results as usual (y)

I'm not jealous at all that you got to play with a classic Ferrari :angel:
 
Very nice matey, oh to have clients like yours! lol....and he's got a plane too!! Do we know him? is he some sort of high flyer (pardon the pun! lol)????
 
What's all the fuss about? It's only a Ferrari F355...........................................:cry:

Did I say that? very nice car, and looks like being a very good job well done. (y)
 
That's my 2nd favourite Ferrari as it goes, and my favourite colour for a sports car :)

Sounds like a nice collection of toys he has. Better than squandering it on golf courses IMO!

Nice work Paul. I'd still like to put some work your way if I can think of something worthwhile to do without a car for a week down your way :LOL: There are detailers here of course, but if I'm paying I'd rather pay someone I'd want to give the money to if you know what I mean?
 
Awesome job - I was lucky enough to take a Caterham out on a track at Palmersport, if you ever get the get the chance it is a fantastic fun car to throw around

Yeh, only if you can squeeze your buttocks into the Race seats they have in them. I can't get in a Caterham! lol (Fat Bustard!)

Depending on the plane, Paul, you may well be restricted to which products you can use on it, Structural Repair Manuals are quite specific, and it may well need to be authorised and inspected work, bit of a minefield written up by the CAA and EASA i'm afraid fella o_O

You must feel great doing that sort of work.

I remember one of my jobs was to go and pick up 2 servers from a customer, they were broken, after about 3 hrs trying to find the problem it took us then a week to get some new motherboards from US of A as a replacement.

I think they were probably the most expensive bits of kit I got to work on, oh there was that time I went to a banks office and nearly took down their off shore operations (ie all the calls that go over to India for a BIG bank) That was a heart pounding moment. The router itself was only worth about £7500 without expansion cards, but luckily they had a backup. (y)
