I'm willing to give that to her, even in the condition she's in.
It wouldn't matter to me, if i have to place her in a garage box for a few years, but eventually i will take care of her and bring that beauty back to life

I hate to see a Ferrari that has been mistreated or damaged in any way

That is AMAZING!
I don't know about how much money it takes, but skill, time, a fully equipped garage and an understanding family probably help!

I'd like to have that guy posting in the tech section. He could tell us all how to build our own F40 from scrap.

Gee, I wonder if I would allow this guy to work on my car.

Joke!

That guy did a great job. He must have an understanding wife.

Wow. So when something is rebuilt like this how real is it? Does Ferrari have spare F40 parts? or does this get rebuilt using parts from another F40?

Dirk, the car being discussed (by the owner, rebuilders, and others) in the link I provided is the same that was featured in the Forza articles you mention.
