Hi Everyone, Join us on the journey that is our 1985 Ferrari 308 QV Euro. It was, well, a difficult birth. It all turned out in the end, but watch and hear the tale of what went wrong and what went right :)
According to the engine heads, they just didn't have the experience. Checj this hand made tool ua-cam.com/video/12-7hGT_hPQ/v-deo.html
You saved a car that had been 'enjoyed' but majorly neglected by his previous owner with no care for maintenance. Great job!
You ladies are awesome. I do all the repairs and so forth for the 3 BMWs in our household, so I know how much work you went through. Bravo to you.
Usually I'll pass on a 20+ minute video. But not on yours. I always enjoy every minute.
You did a great job! I'm always glad to see people caring about these old dream (and sometimes nightmare) cars. Cheers from Switzerland
I love seeing any Ferrari being brought back to life :)
I hope you guys have found the ratarossa channel 🍿
Good stuff! Thanks for going into this level of detail. It's rather unusual to see such transparency regarding the work done on these cars and I appreciated seeing it all documented this way. The photos were excellent in showing the "before and after" and that adds a lot. I was comparing with my own experience as my Mondial 3.2 had it's own engine out service, a few years ago. As you indicated, 308 values have gone up considerably in recent years. So, dollar-wise, you are STILL ahead. It's great that you are both so positive and upbeat about it, even with all the "bad news", and the whole process (time+money) that was needed to remedy all the issues. The reward for your efforts is you now have a beautiful example of the 308 and with it, a potential concours winner!
What a process you went through. Great vid and thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the look into your 308 journey. I've really enjoyed all your videos about this car... looking forward to more!
This is exactly how curators maintain vehicles. Thanks ladies for your continued inspiration in maintaining interesting vehicles. Gives me hope.
Thank you for sharing the journey with a beautiful car that you both have nurtured back to it’s true potential - as well as sustaining its longevity with your care and nurturing- congrats and can’t wait to see more 308 content :)
Great video - you clearly have a lot love for your 308, beautiful car and fantastic owners
miss you guys so glad I found this feed while I am working in the shed!
I would like to personally thank you two wonderful ladies for bringing that Ferrari back to it's former glory and giving it a wonderful home.
P.S. Hi from the UK.
Hi from Colorado.
After all you guys went through, you're still passionate about your 308QV!!! AWESOME!
Thank you so much for giving us such a great video. Great ladies, great cars, great job done. 👍👍👍
Heidi & Franny: Great video! I was glad to see that you fixed everything properly and did the additional prospective maintenance that was appropriate once you had the engine out. I had several Italian sports cars during college and law school, and my first "nice" car was a used 1978 Alfa Romeo GTV Coupe. Although not in the same class as your Ferrari, it needed substantial (read expensive) work every few weeks. In retrospect, I should have done what you did with your Ferrari, that is, fix everything at the beginning, and then enjoy it. I hope you have many years of enjoyment with your Ferrari.
Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable video. I've been watching the 308 videos on Number 27 channel and UA-cam recommended this one. What an absolutely stunning car. I love what you've done to it and the way you have carried out every task exactly the right way. You are also fortunate having some very talented technicians to do work on the car. Despite what it has cost, 308s in this kind of condition must be worth far, far more these days. If I was an envious person I would be envious!
Thanks Phil! Initially I wanted to tear into this myself, but I believe it was the correct decision to let the experts handle this. That stuck head would have been a disaster. I know it seems drastic, but the decision was made to not do further damage to the block and we could always replace the head (we did check first). It runs like a dream now :)
One of my dream cars! I LOVE it! You guys and your videos helped me clean the condensers in my 996.2; replace various worn-out parts and, replace the wiper motor in my recently acquired 84 eagle wagon. Now I'll tackle the grease glue window motors and door locks. I LOVE IT!!! thanks.

I have an 84 308GTS QV and an 87 Carrera and have worked on both for years and it must be said thatPorsche build quality and engineering far exceeds that of Ferrari.
I still dont own a 308 (been trying to hunt down the right one for 6 months now), but I have to say the thing that realy stood out to me with the cars I have looked at is that the suppleness of the materials isnt something I have seen in other cars of the era. I have 0 doubt that porsches are just better designed, but they realy dont have the same physical material quality feel IMO
So refreshing to find a new channel that is as enjoyable as this one.
That is super sweet! Thanks so much :)
Thanks for real $$$$ numbers.
Very informative......Another great presentation ! Beautiful Ferrari
I just love the 308/208 Ferraris. It is my second favourite after F40. All the best for You from Poland!
Oh wow the work needed to those heads what a nightmare! Great video you have a beautiful Ferrari, thanks for sharing 👍
Such a joy to watch! Thank you for sharing. Subscribed your channel long time ago and now notification bell enabled! Greetings from Germany.
Fantastic video, thanks F&H, love your channel 🙇🏻👍🏻
Yours is such a beautiful example of the 308. Thank you for sharing the journey and the cost :)
Great Video! most informative Ive ever seen since on this car, I have owned the same one since 1995!
I am ret USAF dentist, who was a tool and die maker in the aerospace industry, before DMD. I rebuilt many foreign cars before I got taken by a 86 911sc, and now 02 Carrera2. I was a sunfisher turned Star sailor. I flew a Viking Old Timer(learned to fly from the Good Brothers). While in dental school, I rebuilt a 'bug eye'and upon entering military sold it to an Optometrist! Love watching you 2, and your cars.
So are you saying Franny should become a dentist? Wink wink? Heidi
The good thing is you both kept alive the art at a huge sacrifice. Not just paintings and buildings deserve saving. I love my 81 Euro GTSi QV and probably would do the same thing if it got to that point.
There's a lot of highly-rated and highly paid journalists who cannot review and talk about a Ferrari like this. Fascinated listening to your story and what a beautiful car!
Thank you. Hopefully you saw our car review too. Heidi
You guys bring up a great point. Makes sense to check if a vehicle passes inspection before purchasing. Much love from Cleveland!
👍 for this video. Being a car nut, the one thing I enjoy most besides actually driving the car, is the cars history. Good or bad. The multi part story on the 356 is right up there in great stories. I absolutely commend you on both your knowledge and ability when it comes to these great cars you have in your automobile stable.🇨🇦👮⛳️
Hey Dwayne. I have not heard from you in a while. I figured you were playing golf. Welcome back to our channel! Heidi
I love your videos - what a great information on the iconic 308!
That engine looks amazing! What a car!
Wow thank you for the in-depth look at the servicing costs. I’m very happy that your 308 ended up going to you guys; it certainly ended up at the right home! I hope you have many trouble free miles ahead!
Brilliant video loved it keep up the good work .
Love you girls I admire your technical knowledge :)
Love this car and all the work you have done to look after it :) Hope to see it for years to come.
We have no plans to sell anytime soon.
Nice to see Heidi taking a bigger part in the videos
Awesome video 👌 This is by far one of my most favourite vehicles and in fact is the one which began my Ferrari obsession!
It’s absolutely wonderful that you both have such a passion for automotive history and the icons of years past!
Let me know when it is up for sale 🙏
Beautiful ride! Well done video and a great summary of the process and decisions. Subd
You guys crack me up, LOL. Just subscribed, and I didn't know about the bell, thank you!!
Excellent video and a very interesting journey.
Wow that powder coating on the engine looks amazing! Great job on that QV, one of the best I've seen!!
New to your amazing channel. Great the see both of you working on cars and your passion for them. Cheers from Brisbane
I enjoyed your very interesting video Ladies, thanks for posting!
fascinating account, you have a stunning car and now sorted ! great video - thanks
Another great video ladies thank you. You made that Ferrari look like new all it's missing is Tom Selleck in a Hawaiian shirt lol
what so ever you do do not watch the remade of Magnum, there can be only one Thomas S. Magnum ans is Tom selleck.
From Canada I really enjoyed your enthusiasm your love for Ferrari and your detail
It’s like a brand new car. Great job!
Just found your channel this morning. Absolutely love your videos. Thanks for the content! Subscribed
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
Another great video, with a tremendous amount of great information! Great work!
Thanks!
@@HeidiandFranny you are very welcome. :-)
You two are an INSPIRATION. What a marvelous job you've done.
Thanks!
Phenomenal work on video!
Hay ladies, good to have you back!
Happy Valentines Day! Wow, another terrific video! Beautiful Ferrari. Very informative. Can you do a video on what kind of maintenance you perform yourselves and how you document the maintenance to maintain a cars value? Really interested in how you do this for the Porsches.
Terrific video. Most important is that you both love the car.
I have seen many car youtubers... but this lovely lady is the best by far in the entire UA-cam.
Ms. Sophia Rosa is one of the prettiest cars ever built.
Like most things on UA-cam I stumbled upon your channel via a search for something - in this case the Ferrari 308. I really like the way you told this story. Much more relevant to those interested in this car than someone taking someone else's car for a 15. minute drive for a 'review'. I'm looking forward now to going through your other videos. Many thanks for this one.
Glad you liked it!
yall r gr8, luv the show!
Beautiful car. It truly.makes you realize how much work and money can go into a car with fairly low miles. Great video as always!
Great video as always an a nice peek into the world of Ferrari ownership. The engine works $$$ seems fairly reasonable considering all that was done. Enjoy the beautiful car while you continue to refurbish and upgrade!
Great vid, as always! I had no idea you guys had gone through such a deep restoration saga... gives me a bit of perspective/relief for my own. ;)
We figured you would enjoy this video.
You two are amazing! I am sure that your fluffy pullovers are not your normal shop clothes, but I love the fact that some of the work you show is while dressed in clean casual clothing like those pullovers, and there is minimal mess on them. And your shop is always spotless. Not hard to maintain that image if you're only doing a video every couple of months, but you are continually doing videos in cramped quarters. Spectacular! Oh, I recently purchased a 1969 Series II Jaguar E-Type FHC. How do you feel about buying one yourself so I can watch how to fix it?!! Ha! Best of 2020 to you both!
Thanks! You know what Enzo said... The E-Type was the most beautiful car ever made... An E-type would be fun, but I think the pricing has gone a bit north for us...
Keep making videos. You both are the best.
I've had a tour of Eurospares - they have an amazing collection!
Awesome content!
Anouther great video ! Very well done, as alway ladies ! You must have nerves of titanium to handle the amount of work ( and expense ) that was required for the engine. Seeing cylinder head actually being CUT OFF was something I never would have expected to see. You both deserve huge kudos for your accomplishments with the 308, so KUDOS ❗️☮️
THE STORY, that's the thing. Great gift for the future owner. Like the mechanical images.,Nice !
Great job at bringing back the car to the state it deserves to be in!
Thanks for sharing this story.
Wonderful car! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for going into all the detail costs of ownership. I thought about getting a 308 but have seen other videos like this one and the cost of ownership just worried me too much. But you are correct that you still have a lot less invested in your 308 than the normal purchase price of one now. If I purchased one now, I might not know if it was well-sorted even with a PPI. I also considered a 360 but finding one well-sorted is also an issue. The 09 Cayman I have is my first venture into the world of Porsche so I got one with a 5-year "bumper to bumper" warranty. I'm having all the required maintenance done on schedule and I think the two prior owners must have done the same (but I have no records other than what's on the CARFAX). It is the nicest car I've ever owned. Safe travels!
Thanks David. Cayman is a great car! We always enjoy hearing from you. Thanks.
just found you ladies. great video! subscribed!
Great video! Enjoy that car, it's a beauty!
very nice great vid !! thumbs up !!
You ladies made my day with this Ferrari video! Can't wait for the suspension bushing video...
Very informative....you’ve got yourself a sub
Thanks so much! Welcome!
GREAT video !!
I was already a fan; now I am a Heidi and Franny's Garage FANBOY!
Thanks.
Yea!
Love the 308QV, thanks for sharing
Lots of money in repairs and improvements but I expected the cost to be nearly double your figure. For a car as nice as yours it seems you guys did great. Minus the mental anguish I’m sure. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thanks. I totally agree with you. Ive been running a F355 for 10 years now. I've spent around £20k in maint/annual services in that time, but the car has increased in value by £40k. It's the cheapest car I ever owned and it's still wonderful. Every car nut should own a Ferrari at some point in their life. The icing on the cake is that it can be a good investment too.
Im so impressed with these ladies
Great video. Beautiful car. Most of all, thanks for talking me out of ever buying a vintage Ferrari.
Very welcome. They are not for everyone.
Hi, fantastic video and a fantastic car that deserves to be well cared
They are some scary bills, but I have gone through similar build creep on my 911 engine. Great stuff as always guys.
Thanks Jeff. Yeah, it was some scary bills, but I can think of worse ways to waste money. I feel like we get something back, as I am sure you do with your cars. So, money is not really wasted. Heidi
Great work, Ladies! I have owned a 3.2 Mondial for 30yrs. Done all of the works you did myself except the suspensions. Looking forward to that video.
Wow. Cool.
Found you through Ratorossa, great channel guys. Peace from the UK ✌🏼
Thanks so much and welcome!
Great channel!!
Jeff King thanks Jeff. I always like hearing what you have to say!
Thanks for sharing, I think this experience is all too common like you say on these affordable exotics. You opened my eyes on the 308 it really is a nice ride, congrats on having it in your stable.
Interesting, well documented project. Like they say, "in for a penny, in for a pound". Great focus. When it got to the point of your having to cut the head off the engine, I was thinking LS , or LT swap. All aluminum, way more horsepower and torque, inexpensive parts, and easy to work on. At the end of the day, it's great that you were able to save a survivor.
Take care.
HI from Australia.........well done on fixing everything the correct way! in the end you have an incredible car that is easily worth more than your investment!!
Great video and insight of what needed to be done. I think 308's are one of the best looking Ferraris!
Wow! Amazing how clean the engine is now!
Wow! that's a nice ride and crazy story to go with it.
thank you ladies super info , great car .
Great video as usual, that was a bad pre-purchased inspection.
The car looks great now though good work
Yeah, we could have paid more for the PPI. Our bad.
If you guys are tired of it by now i'm in the market for one and will be glad to take her off your hands. Great job ladies keep it coming!
