Make sure once it's being driven that your tires are rolling in the proper direction they're intended too. (For Safety) From the pics it seems the front right directional tire is on wrong. Just fyi~

For real, especially with a relic like that. Punctuality is one of the best aspects of a body shop- apparently not this one.

I think bodyshops are all the same they say it will take 2 weeks but in real terms its 6 lol

metheores · 11-21-2008, 04:12 PM

Well i wouldn't say the ones i've been to. Although i know the people that work there pretty well so i don't know if it's special treatment but they get the job done sometimes earlier than expected.

steve403 · 11-21-2008, 04:32 PM

congratulations on the find of the century! Considering they only made 30 of them, this car will be worth a lot in the future. Quick question, what was wrong with the original paint on the widebody? From the photos, it looked pretty decent. We want more pictures!!!!

miracleman89 · 11-21-2008, 08:07 PM

Dude I would agree with the others! This group sounds like they are all thumbs! Do they even know what kind of vehicle they are dealing with????

Cheers for the comments dude,pics can be decieving the paint was faded badly on some panels it was quite obvious the car had some paintwork done to it when it was in Japan,there must have been 3 different shades of red on the car.Only bad damge was on the front bumper had some hairline cracks and bad stone chips.Wanted a better red so went for the Ferrari Corsa Rosso Red
