not too sure about the led lights...
 
those headlights are totally awful ,the vents are gross and wheels are "ok" but the OZ would have been a better choice

like I already said in another post , they're hacks

there's the proper way to do thing and ... the crap they do
 
Je l'ai ai tjrs trouvés cool mais la c'est une autre histoire... C'est le plus grand classique de tout les temps, la dernière création du maître... Apart des pièces LM, tu laisses ça original!!!!

I don't think the point of rebuilding that kind of car like this is for resale value..

Lol, le but du Monkeys garage est très très spécifiquement d'obtenir le maximum de valeur de revente pour un minimum d'investissement..
 
Lots of butthurt dudes ITT slinging around words like "sacrilège" and "The right thing" like they were part of some kind of cult.

Truth is wether they built it back to stock or modified it, the car is a known dud that has been in a horrendous crash, and no serious collector is gonna pay a million dollars to buy it with this pedigree or trying to go through walls and shit.

I don't think a lot of MR members here could keep a garage like this afloat for long. But they sure sound like they know what they're talking about.

LOLOLOL.....listen, their business is about MAKING MONEY....they paid the fucking car 400K...SMASHED but with ''clean title''....you can get a MINT F40 for 750k today...

There is NO WAY IN HELL they will get even 500K for this piece of shit!! A F40 buyer is not on MR to go on Monday night or Tuesday Julep to show their modded F40 on ADVs....they buy F40 to have the most amazing classic ferraris made....

So that saying....the goal was to make money....in which THEY WONT!!! whatever they decided to do with this car...

"The right thing to do" was to not buy the car at all because the risk factor was too high. The owner could then part it out and buy another one.

But you know, it's a TV show so they're having fun with a car that lost a substantial part of it's value because of the crash. They're gaining exposure, pissing off kids who'll never own a Ferrari yet talk like they own the company. If you are going to be successful, a lot of people are going to talk shit about what you do, it's just a part of it.

If a brake job is a challenge for you, your opinion on this car is null and void, so just sit back and watch the show folks.

It's funny that ferrari forums are mostly positive about the project, and other general forums like MR populated by kids under 25 years old are negative about it.

The suspention upgrades will make it a track beast, and there is nothing wrong with that....it's an F40.
