14 INCH DICK posted:Requesting thread tag change to HOT 100% agreed. Even though I'd personally experience a lot of trepidation about owning an old Ferrari I think that's a gorgeous example of a great looking car. And really I think my concerns would mostly be due to the difficulties in getting good work done on it as there aren't a ton of mechanics for them in the PNW. I'm interested to hear more about your maintenance plans as it sounds like you're approaching ownership from a very practical standpoint. Can I make a request? Will you post some detail shots of the car? We all see cars at museums, car meets and whatnot, but ownership is a lot different and you'll get to see things we'll never get to see unless we're assholes and get in someone else's car. Maybe close up shots of the underside of the dash, of the strakes and frunk, of parts of the engine bay? Show us the craftsman work you're impressed by or satisfied with and show us what you're surprised doesn't look better. Oh, and congratulations!

There goes my weekend!  Re: maintenance I'm thinking now and while I only know of two or three places in the greater Seattle-Tacoma area that has to be due to my plebeian non-Ferrari owning status because I've seen more than enough of the cars to support plenty more. Are the frunk seals getting replaced? I see a little mildew fuzz

You could also try gummi pflege from einszett which a lot of old school german guys swear by. Supposedly it keeps seals fresh, but can often recondition old ones such that they're usable again. I just bought a bottle to try on my 2002 as the window and door seals are borderline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TXP2F4CDrA
