Barn Find Rare Ferrari 512BBi - The Problems With Doing a Nut and Bolt Restoration

I love your video’s Scott, especially on the BBi. I can’t wrap my head around how you keep track of which parts, screws and bolts go where and manage to keep everything organized. Hats off!!

Hi what do you use to buff your engine and where’s the ice blaster from I’ve seen them around

Cool video. Welcome back

This cars going to look amazing

Scott I was going to recommend Barkaways. There the best place to go. Have seen some very very beautiful cars come out of there. I work next door to it... fantastic company. Ian is the best!!!!!

Such a special car. My dream car as a kid in the 70s. Great to have you back!

Yay! The BBi restoration is back! I have been looking forward to it!

Those gaskets can easily be cut by hand from material. The kits from elring can also be bought cheaply. That place ripped you off, they need a word having with them because that is not acceptable.

Great Video! Don’t paint the concrete floor. Just put some heavy duty pvc tiles like Duramat. I am sure a company like this would sponsor you and you could do a nice video. This transformed my garage.

I’ve already saw this video before, you reuploaded it?

Outstanding work, this is going to amazing, looking forward to the roar when it fires up.

Did i miss the bit where you took it to ricky to have the engine apart to find out what was wrong and have it repaired.

Thank you for going out your way to save a sleeping beauty. A year or two more and she would be too far gone. She's stunning she's a Ferrari not a ford escort the fact she was left too rott is a disgrace in its self. Great job sir 👍

2.5k for a gasket set is obscene!

Termites best get those gone or your garage will be laying on both those Ferrari s

I hope they at least used lube or spit before they did that to you

I don’t know who narrated this video - but they sound EXACTLY like Ali-A, a gamer/streamer.

Great work! Love the series and your work on the other classic Ferraris. I can't be the only one wondering, though, what was the yellow covering on the inside of the valve covers? the heads are also covered in this yellow paint, or covering? The acid bath took it all off and you did not repaint them. Is that an issue?

One advantage of a raw concrete floor is that is absorbs moisture

For dealing with the timber issues. Buy something called 7 star, or an equivalent rot protection product. Its treats for all types. Spray every bit of exposed timber and those around (keep doing until they don't absorb more) as it will migrate if you don't treat everything. If your able to remove the damaged sections, do it. If not If they are spongy use rot hardener and splice new timbers along side. Making sure to overlap the damaged areas by at least 1m each side over the length of the damage. Hope that makes sense and helps. Loving the content. Thanks

That engine is a thing of beauty you should be very proud of your work

Man! This is such a beautiful project. It's well worth the wait.

Might be a longhorn beetle in the wooden beam.

He’s back 🎉🎉

Yes, awesome

Time for an EV conversion?

I am surprised you didn't show splitting the cases, measuring up the crankshaft bearings and all that?

A good powdercoater is like finding a good doctor for sure although I have known some shakey handed surgeons. I have done just what you mentioned by rebuilding some vintage espresso machines and using wild color combos. Can't wait to hear the car running again!

Good to have you back again Scott - hope you are well!

You are so lucky to have found this gem!!!!!! Lets make it great again! Ofcourse its worth it. Its a miracle it has no rust and no damage at all......only the gaskets 2500 is a bargain to get this baby going

Great to see you back at the BBi, it's what I've missed. Hope all well with you in the meantime. 👍🇬🇧

Man ngl, this project has become depressing!

Nice one Scott. Really enjoyed this one. Can't wait for the next installments.

Whoa that's a nice find

Csp are the best ,they started off doing atm machines 👍

Glad to see u back again Scott, really enjoyed this video & looking forward to the engine rebuild with Ricky & yourself 👍

Great Job Scott and Thanks for the Update

What was wrong with cylinder # 12?

I must say, you have better self control than I do since I would not have been able to resist powder coating the cam covers red (even though black is factory). I know it's a nut and bolt restoration, but red would have just made the engine bay pop so hard that I believe the Ferrari community would have given you a pass. Anyway, great to see this build progressing and keep up the awesome work!

Don't reuse the acron nuts. You'll find when you try and torque them down some will be stripped. A box of 100 are cheap and easy to find. Car is lookign great!

Glad to see you back mate and what a great video to come back to.

🚙👏👍💪🤩👨❤️

These are the unloved Ferrari’s. A 12 cylinder Boxer motor mounted mid engine and behind the driver was a first but it did not have the sexy curves of other models. Prices have remained low so to speak. A full restoration alone will cost more than one in great low mile condition today. Clean it up, make it safe and sound and make it a daily driver. If not, I’ll make you an offer.

Im confused ,,,Did you change out the (pistons,,rings,,,block) or just did the surrounding parts ?

Hangups, etc - what ever you want to call them... I honestly don't mind -- I rather enjoyed the painstakingly long and drawn out build process of the Bad Obsession Project Binky Mini. Besides you have other content to fill in in the mean time, so let this project take as long as needed so that your happy with the end result (because THAT is what is truly important). :-)

Scott after that lovely detailing for the love of all things stop those beams dropping more shizzle onto the car. Even tape some bags over the beams and/or a cover over the car until sorted?

Oh hell yes! Glad to see this car back and the progress!

Who did the powder coating?
