Strad, make sure to look at the salvage yards in Dubai. I’ve already seen salvage 812s popping up after the recent floods. Chances are if you could find a strut tower there, it wouldn’t be destroyed. Because it’s an aluminum part, it shouldn’t rust, but you could still double check corrosion.
"it shouldn't rust" Well obviously it's not going to rust as it is aluminum like you said...... It will corrode however, and you know what salt water does to pourus cast aluminum? Rust is childs play, rust can be repaired easily, corroded cast aluminum on the other hand! 😢
@@commonsenseisdeadin2024 I said “shouldn’t” in the case that it isn’t pure aluminum. Even a small amount of alloying metal could lead to rust. But yes-you’re absolutely right. My point is that it’s worth looking into. It’s certainly a better idea than, say, trying to repair the existing strut lol.
If worst comes to worst, and you can’t register the car because of the structural damage, put the new kit on it and make it pure, no bs track car. Part out the seats and everything else that would add weight, get the money, get a rollbar and all other essentials. I do miss the 430 challenge, that car was something else.

Dave being spotted is super cool. He's probably my favorite automotive based individual ever. His designs are timeless and he's an actual nice guy in real life.
James, I worked in aerospace for a lot of years. We used a piece of equipment that a company called Direct Dimensions Inc both sells as well as offers services to produce an exact digital copy. The digital copy can be turned into a CAD file to have a part produced from what everyone now calls "Billet" aluminum, steel or laser 3D printing. Before I'd use a cast part, I'd get a part produced from a solid block of aluminum.
You could do a tube frame chassis tied into a full cage, that way there's a whole new, stronger structure supporting the struts and protecting the driver. Just good luck passing inspection with that. Ontop of using that structure to mount the suspension, you could also modify suspension geometry like using cantilevers and longer control arms.
Damn, I can't believe I've been watching this channel for 9 or 10 years. Im still not tired of it. Many channels have come and gone in my life, but this one remains along with Neeme and Brad.
That's why I have such distain for supercar brands. There's absolutely no reason for it to be that expensive. They only charge that much because they can.
Exotic Auto Recycling. They have a few of these listed (Front Frame Suspension Casting, is what the part is listed as) eBay for $2500. I don't know your exact model. And by the looks of my research the same part fit several different models which the dealer would never tell you that.
Love the transparency James! We all make mistakes so don’t push yourself down about it. Do what you believe is the best for you!! Enjoy the holiday week!
A good idea is to "borrow the piece" for further examination and buy/use a 3d scanner to scan the item. You can then use websites like PCBway or something else to 3d print or make from titanium.
For something like the seat belts you may not need to buy new ones, a lot of times you can send them to a place like Safety Restore and they will rebuild them with new pretensioners and stuff. You could also go with a custom belt color at that time as well if you wanted.

I bought a salvage title truck with 64 miles on it that had hail damage that was repaired. They apparently bondo'd the entire roof and it has been chipping away in massive chunks. It looked flawless when I picked it up :(
Hey! If it costs that much for that aluminum piece, I bet you could find another wrecked 812 on copart or other salvage auctions, and when it's all said and done you have a candidate for your wall car!
Ferrari is probably about the most hated, yet loved brand of the car scene. Hated for their price gouging, pretentious attitude towards new buyers, and several other things, but those are the most prominent.

They don’t want their billions of dollars in R&D being messed with by shit parts out together on wrecked cars, by ppl that have no idea what they’re doing. Ferrari is protecting their name, history and products.
Here is what you do. You find another 812 hit in the rear and get all the parts you need and then sell the leftover parts. You should have an extra engine and lots of usable parts to make up the difference in parts. Send the dash and seatbelts to L and D solutions. They specialize in repairing deployed dashes and seatbelt repair after deployment. They are certified and stand behind their work. You can have all that stuff fixed for a fraction of the price. There is currently a 812 for sale on Global Auto Auctions stie with left front damage. You only need the right front so that would work for you and then you sell everything.

Sorry to hear that man! Many channels opt out to get into wrecked vehicles, repairing them and showing the possibility of owning crazy expensive car somewhat at the fraction of the cost - the ulgy truth that comes out is that many of these vehicles are poor candidates for projects like that. Sigh unseen - major trouble #1... re-sell value is unpredictable major trouble #2 in this ordeal - so, I would have voted against... next time, do a pole of what your fans think, and use that to your advantage ...
The dually actually is widebodied. Most times when you run 22.5s or larger you get widebody rear fenders. I love that truck. I used to have a bagged and bodied version that was stolen
I'm happy to see that at least the car is slowly getting better and closer to being done , just try to be patient with it and possibly you will find a solution to it , I'm super pumped to see your dad's truck and maybe....if you part out the Ferrari then that brilliant exhaust v12 would sound AMAZING in yours dad's truck , Lots of love brother STRAD 🖤🔥🤝!!!!!!!!
I don't usually comment alot on your vids but you are the one that got me interested in cars that's one thing you need to know. Love your content and keep up the great work❤
at this point you should just take it to a shop that builds racecars and get the front end tube framed and make it into a track car that way you can still build it and enjoy it
TheStradman Great Video I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time getting parts for your 812 Superfast rebuild and I hope everything works out in the long run
Honestly that's maybe the best idea I've seen outside of the people commenting about 3d scanning parts and having them made instead of going through Ferrari. They would be sick af in the 002
I feel like a fabricator would be able to fabricate all of those aluminum parts (aside from the cast aluminum piece) for like 1/8 the price, and the cast piece could easily be CNC machined, it might even be stronger than before.
Good job on the Ferrari man. Over in Australia me my dad and a couple of friends are restoring a 1973 Holden lc torana. Just keep going man in the end you can finish this!
I was going to comment this as well. Getting the dimensions shouldn’t be difficult considering he has the damaged passenger side part as well as the drivers side for reference. And there are tools that can be used to determine the exact composition of the material if needed. I don’t even think it would cost him $1,000 to have done.
As a salvage rebuilder i can tell u most of the shops first check on the availability of parts then start buying the cars in bulk.

@@PuffOfSmoke the problem with that is the youtube shouldnt have to cover loses if he could be doing a break even type of rebuild the youtube revenue can be pure profit. But yeah u can see how one or two cars like this can bankrupt a small to medium sized shop.

I understand that he was trying to make it so the car could be finished and get a widebody kit smoothly but he took a big financial risk. Him saying he doesnt have 70k cash is a scary situation.
