That coolant plug you’re wondering about is for a block-heater, useless in California, but helpfull in Eastern Canada or Us, where winter can be brutally cold! As a Honda technician, I’ve installed many block heaters. Keep up the good work.
One of my all time favorite car builds on UA-cam! Your level of detail, willingness to stay true to what you want to do, and uncompromising commitment to quality is fantastic! Keep up the good work, I can’t wait to see this thing all finished! Also, gotta love the dry sense of humor. I laughed so hard at the last episode on not lining up the fitting! Not to mention your production quality is stellar! Love your channel, great job man!
LOL, after so many yrs in the Navy I can tell you that salt mist was a constant on all surfaces of my equipment. Rust was a constant battle. As a electronic tech FC.
The rust on horizontal surfaces is most probably caused by dust... dust absorbs and allows moisture to sit on the surface of material... proximity to the ocean means that moisture has quite a bit of salt in it too.
Always impressed by your humble nature. I am guessing you'd make for a fantastic person to learn from because you're not afraid to talk about mistakes you've made. I am also still blown away by your production value on these videos. I love the car stuff obviously but I also love watching your transitions and all the other stuff. Keep it up!
As someone who has followed this project since the beginning, seeing all of the parts on the floor really puts into perspective your progress as a fabricator. Really cool stuff Mike, can't wait for full send in 40 days!
This is probably the most tedious few episodes for you but probably the most exciting for me! I'm about to start a project of my own so this whole series has been amazing inspiration.
Also, from working in CNC Milling and Turning. Your steel is rusting quickly because you're cutting steel in the same space. The steel particles do a great job of assisting rust on even stainless surfaces. Cross contaminating steels is a thing. That's why plasma cutting shops have ridiculous measures to stop particulate because it won't just help corrode parts and equipment in the shop... it'll even destroy the building if it's made from steel, too.
I discovered this channel during pandemic lockdowns & it was one of the things that kept me sane, I never imagined we'd be this late in 2022 & the car would still not be done. I think I speak for all of us when I say we need this to be finished!! We need this win. Every other guy doing a will-it-run, or body swap, or motorhome rebuild, or rocking a mullet in Canada, or chopping fingers in downunder, or pressure washing Datsun trucks, BMW's in Germany, even engine swapping Mazda engine into a mini have finished their projects. This Ferrari needs to be finished too now
If you ever want to upgrade that steel dolly, try mounting powered scissor hoists on each rail for quick jacking without transferring back to the floor hoist.
2 things: 1) that truck is badass. As a truck guy and a car guy, I’d love to see more of it. 2)I just threw some Morimoto tail lights in my C6 Corvette and it transformed the back of the car. I bet they’d look awesome on the 308. They make Ferrari specific applications I’m sure you could make something work. I love this build!
It makes me happy to know you will use Steel-It to paint the engine bay, that stuff is REALLY good and the best part is that you can weld over it, can't wait to see the next episode!!
The engine bay is as good as anything else and once painted it will be most satisfying. How good does it have to be? You are getting to the point where you have to rationalise practicality against ultimate OCD perfection otherwise we will all be very old when it is finished. The thing in the back of my mind is you are going to drive and track it. There is a strong chance it will have a bingle. Remember the Ford. Anyway I would now lean towards finalisation and wrap up the "design for ultimate perfection" stuff. BTW one of my builds I sold (stupidly) to a guy who totalled it a month later. There is a moral there somewhere. Cheers from OZ .
Your attention to detail, is relentless. This is by far the best build on UA-cam, watching this has made me completely rethink my skill level and any other build I have seen as far as quality. Truly outstanding work, amazing.
Glad the moving went well enough. I was wondering if you were doing ok. I'm glad to see this video. And thank you so much for putting yourself and your projects out there for the scrutiny of the keyboard "professionals"
Bro, the engine bay is fine! like you said the engine and work you have added plus the painting of the bay black will look better than most bays out there.
Slowly coming along! Man that sea air is killer, I don't envy you there. I don't understand how you mentally deal with that much rust forming so quickly by metal just existing. At least when I lived up north I could blame it on the winters.
Tip, get a hand controlled tig-torch. Pedal is great when working at a bench but horrible in tight spots. I always use hand control when i weld in vehicles or out in the field.
Cool Project Binky homage. Steel-it is the best paint I’ve ever used for sealing a bare metal surface so I’m excited to see the other stuff. I was also looking at the back of the Ferrari and a cool idea would be finding some way to make it resemble/use parts from the 812 Superfast. Probably the best rear end of any Ferrari. Idk maybe I’m seeing the lines differently.
stainless steel and aluminum are a great mix for galvanic corrosion so choosing a sealant that helps against that is really useful especially near the coast
You can always back half the car later down the road to fix the engine bay if it really bothers you, once it's painted with everything in the bay I reckon it's going to look better than you think
Yep. Definitely a good way to go if you don’t want to start from scratch! It would be interesting to measure the torsional stiffness of the chassis. A good starting point to work from.
Just so you're aware, there's a neat adjustable angle base for tig torch pedals so you can push against them horizontally when you're lying down welding.
Yeah same, I usually just cover everything in coolant before I cover everything in coolant because and then it doesn't feel like I actually spilled anything because there was already coolant on everything before I spilled coolant on everything.
Love the nod to @badobsessionmotorsport … this and their build are most definitely the ultimate build series. Shame binky is approaching its 10 yrs anniversary 😂. I got the chance to see it in person last year though so it’s been well worth the wait
That coolant port is for a block heater - the Allen key plug comes out and the block heater installs into the bigger threads on the outside of the hole
Some input on the turbo cooling and cooling in general: Think about it in terms of certain volumes of heat being moved around. Compared to how much heat the engine itself generates, the relatively small amount of heat in the turbo's cartridge will not make a huge difference. The biggest thing is that it's just concentrated in such a small area that lowering that concentration of heat around the journal or ball bearings is critical.
Spending more May be overkill for some but, if you can justify the cost, it's well worth it. You're doing amazing work on the Ferrari and around the shop.
Awesome project, you’re always making good progress. On a side note I tend to disagree on the welding . . . You can do whatever you want as it’s your car, but there is definitely a proper way to do things. Solid wire push and flux core wire drag. “If there’s slag you drag”. The push is to prevent cold lap which happens when you drag solid wire, you end up stacking on top of the puddle and not getting enough heat into the base material to allow it to fuse to the weld pool. The slag on stick welding electrodes and flux cored wires prevent this, also the drag is to avoid drawing inclusions into the weld.
Mike, you have done everything to ensure the build is as perfect as you can make it. It isn't overkill. And if it was overkill, just remember: Overkill is underrated.
Seymour spray paint is awesome. I used some on my tractor build and it is just as shiny 5 years later as it was new. And it lays down so smooth. Keep chipping away at it and it will come together soon. No way that engine bay will be ugly with all those parts laying in it. Besides, no one can see it at 150 mph. 😬
4 casters on that dolly would make moving it around a lot easier. The heat soak from those small welds on the dolly wheels would be minimal that you would not have had to disassemble them. Just extra work.
such cozy vids. i love ur music choice btw, lots of channels have so much electronic stuff that hurts my ears but ur videos are very nice on the senses
Keep it going Mike. I feel you are being too hard on yourself on the rear chassis clip. While not as elegant as a bespoke rear clip, you have blended into the 308 original really well. Cannot wait to see this finished.
How has it been two freakin years? This has been the best car movie I've watched in a long time! I'm not sure if the Quattro build can top this or not, but I'll be here for another two years if that's the route you're going to take.
thanks for the seymour recommendation, i was just getting ready to paint my Volvo's engine bay before i slap a 5.3 in and i'm definitely gonna give that a shot now
Excellent work as always. For the engine bay I would recommend a two part satin black out of a spray gun. It is much more durable than spray cans and will deposit more material quicker and hardens faster. Spray cans can do a good job but they take a long time to dry well. If you insist on using spray cans pre-heat the surface as much as you can with a heat lamp or electric/gas heater and heat the can under hot running water. These tips bring a rattle can much closer to a spray gun in terms of performance. Still if it were my build I'd go with the air gun approach. Also the chassis may look bad now but you will be AMAZED how much better it will look with an even coat of black. The Italians knew what they were doing as satin black covers all kinds of sins :)
Ha you're right about your tendency to overdo things. I'd have definitely used U-bolts to fasten those casters. Love this build man. Can't wait to see it finished!
I honestly don’t have anything to offer really but it is common for rally cars to have a white engine bay over in the uk. It means that leaks can be found very quickly. As always love your work.
I almost never comment on YT, but after a 100 something episodes without skipping a single second it is time to say: you must be my favorite content creator! Thanks for that. The car looks epic. Cannot wait to see it finished! And if I ever need to make control arms you got me covered ;)
Sorry. Last comment. That surface rust is so light I wouldn't use a sand based media. Use soda blasting. Clean up is a snap and its not harsh like sand media. Another great tip is if you choose to use any type of under coating please go with Rock-it bedliner. This stuff is truly amazing. The kit comes with its own application gun and is epoxy based. It lays down very beautiful and smooth, its not at all rubbery, dries hard as a rock and leaves behind a beautiful finish. It mimics powder coating more then anything else. I have a classic car restoration shop next to my home and they recommended I use it for my restoration. How please I am they suggested it👍👍👍👍
Hope the move went smoothly. You are doing fantastic on this build, chin up, and don't lose the faith. You should be proud of what you have accomplished. Try not to get rid of too much Ferrari though 😄
Such a great build and getting to that exciting stage now. Always intrigued to see the "Computerland" insignia on the car in the background. Same name as a company I worked for in Christchurch, New Zealand for many years!!
Hopefully eventually you'll have the time to make a full tube chassis for it, this is a badass car, and let's not forget that a proper project car is never finished, V1 is turning out really cool, it can only get better.
Making some real progress now. There are some shonky welds on one of my cars and I’m going to get in there with a carbide burr to remove as much as I can before rewelding over the top. Probably like you, a bit of me wants to pull it all apart but, I think there’s benefit in getting it on road and finding out what else needs fixing.
Have you considered adding a place on the dolly that you could slot a longer handle (like a floor jack) in to give you the ability to push or pull the dolly around without having the handle the car itself? I wish I had done that on a previous dolly of my own as it would have saved me from putting a couple finger tip dents in panels while pushing it around.
Finally!!!! Someone besides myself believes in running coolant through the turbo!! Besides myself you are the first I have seen on any video i have watched to utilize the cooling ports! I simply can't understand why everyone doesn't make use of the warer pirts that cool the cartridge?? My $410 dollar TurboSmart 46mm wastegate, I run coolant though that as well. Cooling ports are on these top shelf parts for a reason. To all you kids and shade tree hot rodders out the. USE THE COOLING PORTS!
That coolant plug you’re wondering about is for a block-heater, useless in California, but helpfull in Eastern Canada or Us, where winter can be brutally cold! As a Honda technician, I’ve installed many block heaters. Keep up the good work.
Still my favorite build on UA-cam right now! You're even capturing the spirit of Binky; newer JDM power train in an older Euro icon.
So thats where the BINKY spirit went!!! Yay
Wonder what those binky guys are doing these days
@@daskamu they've been filming some videos but mostly doing historic events and showing Binky off to the adoring public.
Enjoyed the nod to binky and the BOM crew

I love talking to/watching guys like this work, you can learn so much if you pay attention
yeah, filming while working and editing adds a huge workload
As someone who has followed this project since the beginning, seeing all of the parts on the floor really puts into perspective your progress as a fabricator. Really cool stuff Mike, can't wait for full send in 40 days!
The bad obsession reference was awesome
Those guys need to pull their finger out and get that mini done 😂
The project binky reference was awesome, those guys need to get the funk out themselves and finish that mini 😂
Use a digital thermometer gun to see if the turbo water line is working as desired, or get complicated and make some clear test hoses.
That k series has almost definitely been taken in and out more than the original engine was the whole time before you owned it
Factory engine would have been removed 7 times if following Ferraris 5 year recommended timing belt interval
@@jeffreylyons1531 well pointed out… and the car is being built not serviced 😅
Weird that a bloke from down under comes across this first Edit: Sick vid as always, love the dedication and your impeccable eye for details.

Love the funk quotation, what is goin on with the worlds smallest fully built rallye car?
They're at the last 10% that takes 90% of the time. So... my math says it should be ready in the year 2103. Give or take a few months.

Seeing more action here than in my bedroom. 😉
That's not what we're interested in. Tell us about the brackets. Are there a lot of flanges? Do you have gussets?
@@AnttiBrax Binky? you haven't seen brackets if you haven't seen Binky.
Get the funk out.

Your nod to Bad Obsession along with the text scrolling during the montage was well played, sir.
Nice tribute to Bad Obsession Motorsport !! The two best UA-cam Channels, providing so much information and learning !! 😃😃😃

most underrated and most informative youtube car channel cant wait to see it rolling on the streets
The BOM section was good… then the text rolled across the screen and it fully got me 😂 great content as always!
Bro, the engine bay is fine! like you said the engine and work you have added plus the painting of the bay black will look better than most bays out there.
It’s always cool to see this thing in person every so often and see your progress. Not just on the car but your own skills. Onwards!!!!
It's wildly satisfying watching you just knock things off the list like nobody's business, getting close!
Slowly coming along!
Man that sea air is killer, I don't envy you there. I don't understand how you mentally deal with that much rust forming so quickly by metal just existing. At least when I lived up north I could blame it on the winters.
Oh no!!! Dry ice blast. That will remove all that stuff, won't leave greasiness and leave you with a surface to etch prime. It'll look marvelous.
Love the BOM shout out 😎
Great ep as always, Mike! Can't wait to see this thing on the road/track!
Loved the little nod to the lads over at Bad Obsession Motorsports.
the BOM nod is tops! Dare I say this series is our side of the ponds equivalent!?
I love it when my favorite youtubers are also fans of my other favorite youtubers!!
Loved the Ode to Project Binky. Those guys are legends!

The slag on stick welding electrodes and flux cored wires prevent this, also the drag is to avoid drawing inclusions into the weld.
The coolant port above the oil filter is used for stock oil “cooler/heat exchanger” on k series that came on a type R
So that’s what it’s for , I was staring at it on my engine

After seeing you on The Smoking Tyre I've been watching heaps of your videos, amazing work big fella, very impressive, Rj in Oz
Keep it going Mike. I feel you are being too hard on yourself on the rear chassis clip. While not as elegant as a bespoke rear clip, you have blended into the 308 original really well. Cannot wait to see this finished.

I like to watch the welding parts in the dark with the brightness turned way up so I can be blinded. Makes me feel like I’m there.
OMG I thought the Grinch got Christmas and the Ferrari! Need more videos not less.... lol I need my Ferranda fix! Best build ever.
Such a great build and getting to that exciting stage now. Always intrigued to see the "Computerland" insignia on the car in the background. Same name as a company I worked for in Christchurch, New Zealand for many years!!
Loved the Bad Obsession Drop. This is going to be some thing to see once its on the track...
The project Binky touch was delightfull! Let's play a little bit of funk
I've used Steel-it a lot on my build. It's great. Have used both the cans and spray gun.
Bad Obsession Motorsport vibe on the montage of you building the frame for moving the car
When I think of all the parts I need for my K24 , this guy comes up with yet another part that I didn’t know I needed to buy
That's definitely the best solution for not spilling coolant everywhere from a specific location, nice workaround.
Hopefully eventually you'll have the time to make a full tube chassis for it, this is a badass car, and let's not forget that a proper project car is never finished, V1 is turning out really cool, it can only get better.

Oh, my Tee turned yesterday. Very happy!
Quick question, can't remember if you have covered this. I know you have the splitter at the front, but are you doing a diffuser and flat floor too?
Have you considered adding a place on the dolly that you could slot a longer handle (like a floor jack) in to give you the ability to push or pull the dolly around without having the handle the car itself? I wish I had done that on a previous dolly of my own as it would have saved me from putting a couple finger tip dents in panels while pushing it around.
i am 2:30 into this video. maddddd superfast matt vibes, bravo.
@15:26 is that bar in the centre fully welded to the upright? looks like it's only tacked at 12 oclock.
I have been watching your videos for about a year now and I have never see your (daily driver) until now! I love it
Finally!!!! Someone besides myself believes in running coolant through the turbo!! Besides myself you are the first I have seen on any video i have watched to utilize the cooling ports! I simply can't understand why everyone doesn't make use of the warer pirts that cool the cartridge?? My $410 dollar TurboSmart 46mm wastegate, I run coolant though that as well. Cooling ports are on these top shelf parts for a reason. To all you kids and shade tree hot rodders out the. USE THE COOLING PORTS!
A nice thing to add to your new car dolly would be a detachable grab handle to push and pull the car
