    Scott, Regarding the fog light. The complete lights are indeed very expensice, but you can replace the glass for about GBP 150. If you can't find them, i do have these in stock (Brand new, OEM Carello glass)

    Those struts should be installed with the rod down so the oil will lubricate the seals and the oil will provide dampening at the end range of its stroke. Loving the 348 though.

    Just a word of advice doing the trim - when punching holes for screws in the leather, use a hot soldering iron to make the hole It will make a neat hole and cauterize and seal the fabric at the same time!

I really hope you can either repair it or pick up a replacement really cheaply.

    Lots of good work there. FWIW, what I've found to work on plastics such as the dirty ash tray and cup holders is to run them through the dish washer. I put them on the upper rack so they're not too close to the heating elements and don't risk melting. Parts usually come out looking new.

Regarding the broken front fog light PLEASE include how you fix this in your next video as I have the exact same issue and I’d love to see this job conquered by the master. You can source replacement glass relatively cheaply, but removing the broken lens from a sealed unit then replacing it is a challenge.

    If the glass in the fog light is sitting straight find yourself a good quality independent windscreen repairer to run and cure the cracks and pit fill the missing bits. Done a few in the past myself and they turned out pretty well. Done a few headlights in the past before every car had glass replaced with plastic. It is difficult because the glass isn't laminated and the resin waste is high but the principal is the same.
    I'm way too busy to undertake the job myself and I'm 200+ miles away but you must have someone nearby with decent glass repair experience.

I know I been hard on you about the Tesla stuff but just wanted to say thanks, you are my favorite of all the car UA-cam content, just really adore you, you deserve more subs but I know you have less bc you are more real. I love your videos, and you aren’t for the masses just for the mini masses, I hope you make enough cash, you should focus more on flipping cars. But yeah, your videos are a treat, more special than adam lz, Tavarish, jimmy oakes, or any of them. So even if I hate the Tesla content just know I love your videos and the Ferrari restorations and the daily use of Ferraris you fix. Most content creators seem ti alienate the viewer but you haven’t.

They do benefit some from the exposure but you show your loyalty and they show you good work. What I’m trying to illustrate is that not everyone can create a good relationship like this
