Rich Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Liking the numberplate Do the pins not just push in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Cheers at least it means something to me... I've got a decal for the plate on order that links it to Ferrari. As for that box thing no. The plug it has to go in is a normal male/ female electrical fitting, a type of spade fit and deffo not a pin. In the image there's a yellow connection or something but i can't see that it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Yellow plugs are usually for the airbag system. Would the pins not fit in place of the spades, they don't look that big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 The airbag connector is a traditional electrical junction box so not designed for the pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Just discovered this thread which initially got me very excited!! And then I realised it was a replica lol. As an owner of a real 360 I wasn't sure how I felt about this (from a "what's the point" perspective) but I've really enjoyed catching up on this thread and seeing all the adventures Tony's been on to get the car the way you want it This isn't entirely my cup of tea but nice work on everything you've done!

eddie Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Looking good Tony - why don't you bring her to Classics on the Green on 1st August - just up the road in Croxley Green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Also, I was just looking at this advert for a 360 in that colour and your replica is basically spot on https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201807168502848 take a look!

Tony Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Can't beat the real thing but it's good to think i have.... Classics on the Green is tempting but i doubt a replica or as they say in America "a recreation" to fit in... If i still had the Esprit then that's another story.

Tony Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Back to the car...... As said in this thread I'm trying to cover the top third of the engine covers window. To date I've used several tints which all started to peel off so as a last resort I used a spray on tint and even that has come off in patches. After much moaning I've finally realized why!!!.... I'm putting everything on the exterior glass. Obviously all tints would be placed on the inside of the glass Now I have ordered a tint that can be fitted on the exterior or interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Yep I've been using a painters cleaning spray which i bought from Eurocolour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Yep tints go on the inside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Not all of them... Now i have found some that go on the outside, it's i wasn't looking for them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Tint sorted ( on the inside ) Current mission is to spray most of the interior the same blue as the car. I was going to leather the panels but when i factor in the cost i would lose money on the resale. I'm not going to colour all the black panels because it would look a bit gay but in keeping with the cars pedigree i need to lighten the interior. The rear luggage compartments i already leathered which i removed but for the life of me i couldn't remove all the glue so i declared them scrap. Good news was i found two new OEM doors on ebay for £30 so problem solved. Just back from the paint shop with 1ltr of the correct water based paint £90 but that included the correct primmer for plastic, but whatever this replica Ferrari lark is dam expensive. Pictures to follow.........unless i muck up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Wait? You're going to sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yes at some point probably next summer. Next in line will be a Lambo. Sadly they are more expensive than Ferrari for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
