Hello Vic; Like our "fath
Hello Vic; Like our "father" JRV says...Go For It! I was a musclecar and vette guy when I bought my first Testarossa. The car needed lots of work. I did two engine-out services, fixed many things, rewired the dash and console, and even tuned the fuel injection system. Now if I could do that then you with your knowledge CERTAINLY could! You hit the nail on the head...do your homework and take your time. It will all turn out fine..maybe even better than many proffessional shops would do it. I think that the owner of the car will be more picky, take more time, and do more verification than a lot of mechanics would. After all my efforts on my previous TR I thought the car ran pretty good. Then in my search for my next TR I tested a few and they were "proffessionally" serviced. Well my old black TR actually runs BETTER than the high-dollar serviced TRs I checked out. Asking for advice on this forum is the best thing to do. There are other sites where you can get pretty good advice but you also get the "game-players" who tend to muddy up the waters. It's hard to seperate those that truly know from those that "sound" like they know. But on this site you can rest assured your getting a great deal of knowledge and experience that you just cannot put a price on. I mean this straight from the gut! These Italian cars do have their quirks. But once you start to understand them, they are really very well thought out. Some things may be substandard, but the emotion and passion that went into the design and building of Ferraris far exceeds the sum of their mechanical parts alone. Once you get a good Ferrari you'll never regret it.
