Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / August 2006Guess what I drove...
It's official. My Mondial is accessible again. First time in 10 yrs that I've been able to drive it myself. Totally forgot that there's no power steering! C. > It's official.

Bravo! ...Now you be nice to her. -Paul << ...Now you be nice to her.>> Nice? *Nice*?? Sheesh, we're going to pull the motor and do a complete service on her this fall. She'll get a new clutch, too. We also spruced up some of my old Challenge wheels and put those on her. 18" Speedlines. They look modern, but not too modern. A subtle update that can be put back to stock easily.

The new addition, 4139GT isn't exactly "whole". http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-12/1124444/4139GTside.jpg > C. 3921GT does move under its own power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSK0xjhwdGE T308 <<The new addition, 4139GT isn't exactly "whole".>> Amazingly, even in that condition, the beauty of the design shines thru. Gods, I love these cars! So anyone want to throw out an estimate as to what an engine out service including clutch replacement is going to cost me for an '84 QV?

Why would you pull the motor unless you were doing major remedial work to the engine bay? Everything should be do-able with the motor in. As for cost, who's doing the work? If its the "crew chief" then it shouldn't be more than $1000-$1500 in parts - it depends how far you go & whether you get into replacing things like distributor caps, ignition leads, fuel lines & coolant pipes etc etc etc. I. > The new addition, 4139GT isn't exactly "whole". > > http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-12/1124444/4139GTside.jpg I hate to tell you, but it I don't think those wheels are the originals. -Paul A wheel expert. ...No, wheely I am. still laffin :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Steve downunder >> The new addition, 4139GT isn't exactly "whole". >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > A wheel expert. > ...No, wheely I am. > It's official.
