Some interesting challenges this week, starting with a couple of Ferrari’s brought out of long-term storage that needed some work to be made roadworthy again. A Mondial That had been left in a garage for 14 years needed full recommissioning as well as a major service and a lot of cosmetic work, while the Testarossa wouldn’t start when it emerged from hibernation. Issues included corroded wiring at the starter motor, injectors that didn’t inject, brake calipers that had seized… the Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel distributor also needed a serious tune up and we used our new handheld emissions tester to help get it there; it’s now running properly on all 12 cylinders.
The gearbox for our long-term Porsche 912 restoration project is now stripped for inspection and rebuild, and we’ve also got new belly pans to fit to a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing that once we’ve checked the fit, will be painted the correct green before being re-fitted.
