    F40 LM restoration

    If you have a few hours to spare, this is a fascinating read:-

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/288...storation.html

    Ground up restoration on one of the greatest cars made. You'll have to register to see the pics, but well worth the effort

    PS Note the wastegate pictures

          I'm picking through this when I have a bit of time. Up to about page 20 now. We are spoilt with the good humoured, friendly & helpful members we have on this forum, and also what a high level of tech knowledge there is here compared to those Tifosi lot. I would fall out with some of them really, really quickly
          There is much applause and back slapping for opening their wallets to pay someone else to come up with the ideas and do all the hard work
