I did enjoy anything you posted so far and i like all your clips since you worked on paintless testarossa but now i know why i need to like all your clips & videos because of what it comes next and you gather so plenty parts & things for it.. Keep doing hard work you definitely will deserve to enjoy what you will build for yourself to use and for us to watch !!!
Even though you are the King of being distracted by other projects I highly recommend you knuckle down and get this BBi project back onto a completion schedule. This will bring back some of your subscribers (like myself) who have wandered away over the last year or so while the BBi sat idle. Good luck and good restoring to you, Scott. Your audience has your back.
@@Ratarossa Hell ya we did! I still tell people about you, your TH-cam channel and how you gave me the nerve to do my belt change on my 355. I'm working now on a 964 Speedster project, wish me luck! I still have my Ratarossa sticker in my garage... 👍
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
Great to have you back where you belong on TH-cam, Scott, and as an added treat, it's a BBi video too 🙂. That powder coating work is incredible! The BBi's engine is going to look better than brand new, just like the rest of this car once it's finished. You're doing fabulous work on it, and we really enjoy and appreciate being able to follow the progress, so thank you very much and please keep up the good work!
I have been doing a restoration on an old lotus for a few years now and can testify how time consuming and hard it can be at times. It takes dedication to see these projects through. Love your attention to detail mate, look forward to the next video.
Great to have you back Scott. Onward and upward! Missed your videos. The effort you put in to your rebuild is incredible! Looking so forward to your colab with Ricky.
So very happy to see you back Scott, and... on my favorite project. Need this one sorted to sell for a pile, and then go in one of several directions. Personally, I would get the Ratarossa convertible finished and in mint shape. Cheers!
Been following you for years, can’t believe that you haven’t got more then 270 k followers! People really miss out on good content. Keep up with the good work! Looking forward to the next video.
QTechniq's stuff is top of the line. That powder coating crew know their stuff. Great to see this project progressing. The original owner should be very happy to know its in the best hands. And to know that he wasn't missing out on a quick flip for profit considering the amount of money and effort you've had to expend on it so far
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!!
Scott - you deserve so many more subscribers. You are truly an ambassador of the classic Ferrari world. Always appreciate and enjoy your videos. Cheers!
Nice, Scott is back with a proper video! Seeing you do a lot of DYI stuff on your Ferrari's gave me the courage to buy an AM Vantage and work on it myself. Thanks and keep it up man!
This is still my favorite car on your channel. Reading about these in the Road & Track issues nearly 45 years ago in top speed shootouts or the Lamborghini Countach comparo's made me fall in love with the BB512's, then, there was this guy named Sammy Hagar who really drove it home just how cool these cars could be. Seeing them occasionally in the wild over the years has still kept this an aspirational car. Oh, and good luck with the termites!
Scott, you are obviously a complete masochist, but your heart is in the right place! When you (finally) finish this project you WILL have the world's best BBi. Flog it for half a mill and bog off to the Cayman Islands for a well-deserved holiday. Keep up the good work mate, cheers from a rather chilly Otford, Kent, UK.
I think you made it fairly obvious that one of the most critical things you need to care about when initially disassembling an engine, aside from taking plenty of photos, is to be fastidious about keeping your parts clean! Any residual dirt or grime not only looks terrible but it also risks being ground into any mating surfaces, which doesn't bode well for long-lasting oil tightness long after the job is done!
A great update on the BBi Scott. Wow, that powder coating looks good. As for that dust from your roof beams, that may well be woodworm beetle attack. If you have lots of small holes in the timbers, that dust on your cars is proof they are live in the timbers. Hope that helps and never thought I'd be making comments like that on your channel!
Thank you first of all, Icannot understand how anyone would or could do this to any high end car let alone a Ferrari it sickens me but fortunately people such as yourself have the passion to find them and restore them back to their glory. Thank u for sharing,keep up the great work
I feel so teased! The whole time the covers were being done, I was looking forward to seeing how they exposed the bare logo and stripes, only to be denied! No worries though, happy to see you back with a new bbi video, one of my favorite cars, on one of my favorite channels!
Glad you´re back at it Scott!! Was talking about your channel with a guy parked in front of my house two days a go... . He drives Gherard Berger´s beautiful Testarossa...he´s a viewer too! Keep at it my man, grts from Belgium!
So great seeing you back up with a new video!! Times are tough I keep all my boxes too. We will finally make a new video soon... finally got the budget for our last hub replacement. Now just gotta wait for a new or used Parking brake actuator. Our friends at eurospares has me on the list for a used one. Those guys are awesome!! Take care and keep up the great work. If you are ever coming to Canada stop by!!
Definitely worth the wait, you’re doing a fantastic job with this restoration. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Hope you’re keeping well and it’s not too long before another update. Cheers Scott 👍
@@Ratarossa cheers Scott, I know there’s a lot of research and hard work behind the scenes, This is going to be epic. Well done, a nut and bolt restoration is a huge undertaking.
@@Ratarossa The BBi is one of the finest ever in my eyes. You did so well spending months getting someone to let you take her on. Will be gorgeous. And, yup, we've missed your posts. One of the very best car channels and, your humility is always engaging.
Scott, glad to see a new vid. I watched it within about a nanosecond of noticing it. 😂Great video, love the powder coating and watching assembly is so satisfying!! Looking forward to the next video but go at the pace that works for you!!
For some amazing GTechniq products use my link and start protecting your car bit.ly/Crystal-Light-Ratarossa
Better look for a unit man
I did enjoy anything you posted so far and i like all your clips since you worked on paintless testarossa but now i know why
i need to like all your clips & videos because of what it comes next and you gather so plenty parts & things for it..
Keep doing hard work you definitely will deserve to enjoy what you will build for yourself to use and for us to watch !!!
"These guys could literally be surgeons".
No they couldn't.
GTechniq.. what happened to P1?
Lovely job guys keep it up 👍
By the way what’s the background music 🎶?
Loved the tune 😅
Even though you are the King of being distracted by other projects I highly recommend you knuckle down and get this BBi project back onto a completion schedule.
This will bring back some of your subscribers (like myself) who have wandered away over the last year or so while the BBi sat idle.
Good luck and good restoring to you, Scott.
Your audience has your back.
King of distracted? That makes Tavarish our all might God
I agree! Can't wait for this car to come to a conclusion
We missed you Scott. 👍👍👍
I appreciate that

Good to see your back Scott wish u all the best mate 👍
@@ImranKhan-iq2gf 👍 thanks.
Those valve covers look incredible!
This channel and Scott deserve so many more followers. Keep going mate.
Much appreciated!
Maybe some consistency in uploading would go a long way to increasing follows and likes.
100%
Less than 2m is an insult
well said , been thinking this for a long time
So pleased to see this project moving forward again. An immense job no doubts, but it’ll be so worth it. That engine ❤
Thanks, its certainly a massive undertaking but when things start to transform like this its so satisfying and makes the hard effort worthwhile

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

I’m struggling with that bit to 🤣
@@Ratarossa😮😂 I can imagine!
19:19 "Now this is a bit of a jigsaw puzzle, this whole thing" should be the title of all the BBi vids - great stuff and continued good luck 👍
Good to see you back Scott, I've been missing your uploads 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
12:32 I am glad that you do them in Black, they look really good
Totally agree, all the colours blend well also with the white bodywork
Your back! Been looking forward to more on the BB.

Great to see you back! Roll on the next instalment!
On it!

Ha ha that would be nice mate !
Brilliant, nice to see you back :)
Thank you
Thank you Scott - this is a major forward step with the BBi - thank you!!
Very welcome!
I had the opportunity to drive all the three Ferrari BB's - all were amazing!
Undoubtedly one of the best channels on TH-cam
Thanks so much for this

Nice to see you back and posting up fun content!
Thanks 🙏🏻
this is my favourite ferrari all time, i really like how wheels sit in arches, so much room
It’s a beautiful design
Great to see you back and so enthusiastic about your projects again.
Many thanks!
Happy to hear news on the 512
Thanks
Welcome back, Scott - we missed you! Great to see the BBI getting some love again 😍
Thanks 🙏🏻
Glad to see u back again Scott, really enjoyed this video & looking forward to the engine rebuild with Ricky & yourself 👍
Day just got better with the drop of the BBi update! Glad to see your content coming out and of course the update on my favorite the BBi!!
Glad you enjoy it!
She’s going to really be a work of art when ur finished man!! Just beautiful!
Here we go! He’s back. Lovely little treat for a Thursday night! Hope you’re doing well buddy!
Thanks for the visit
A great update on the BBi Scott. Wow, that powder coating looks good.
As for that dust from your roof beams, that may well be woodworm beetle attack. If you have lots of small holes in the timbers, that dust on your cars is proof they are live in the timbers.
Hope that helps and never thought I'd be making comments like that on your channel!
I’ll get it sorted
Excellent content. Keep up the good work on your channel. Regards, WR4K.
thanks buddy
So good to see you back Scott - more content asap please!
I’m on it 🙏🏻
Scott, didn’t know you completed the bottom end and the new piston rings? Excellent!
Not yet buddy
Great to see videos again! 👍🏻
thank you
Thank you first of all, Icannot understand how anyone would or could do this to any high end car let alone a Ferrari it sickens me but fortunately people such as yourself have the passion to find them and restore them back to their glory. Thank u for sharing,keep up the great work

@@Ratarossa Your totally welcome,to me these automotive art and they also need to be preserved...
Good to see you back on the build Scott, it's been quite a long time.
Yes it’s been to long but I’m back filming

lol thanks dude
Welcome back, Sir. She's looking great - dream of the first start-up and drive 🚗
Can’t wait for that … even the first start up will be epic
Glad you´re back at it Scott!!
