[Music] okay [Music] okay fore [Music] fore [Music] [Music] for [Music] [Music] spe [Music] Al for for materal composing fore [Music] GR no [Music] no [Music] [Music] a [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] w [Music] [Music] so here she is yeah completely stripped down exactly she looks very different to when I I loaded her in the truck to be sent to you it is and now yeah and now she's no longer red she's uh gray gray so this is how we going to prepare the car so it has the primer actually the car is really worked in the red when it was red we really worked to have a plain Sur face yeah after this we put the primer so with this primer we can work it as like a mirror as you've seen in the other parts yes and from here we we just you know go ahead to have the best finish ever and it looks amazing I mean even just to see how how you've got it so smooth already I mean yeah and follows all the lines of the car perectly so yeah and I noticed that uh there were some parts that that I pointed out to you on photos before with the inside the door and everything is already so in here you've completely reworked it and yeah it was totally rusted yeah there was some Rust around this area I think from where the water was coming in from the the roof and coming down so this has the epoxy treatment uh stops we can say the the rust okay and now this the frer just to get the a finish because this goes black even on top you have the the exactly so here so you don't see anything here but at least it's repaired and done y there here also it was a there was a little a little uh yeah I don't know how it happened the previous owner I think had somehow put some weight on there maybe he put a girl on there I don't know wasn't me so now it's gone yeah right so the bumper so yeah this is the most impressive piece of work because the previous owner unfortunately I negotiated well for the price though had removed part of this this part was completely gone um I think he had caught it on the parking or something like this and completely ripped this off this is the biggest challenge I gave Manel to try to to fix the front bumper I'd been told by other people it wasn't possible to fix and I need to buy a new one which isn't very possible with a 26y old Ferrari so uh what's amazing is I actually think that this part was the original part when we first looked at it so it's it's an amazing job incredible it looks it looks absolutely perfect and uh I say it even looks better than this side which is the official official Ferrari part yeah we tried to it's amazing we tried to mirror from one side to the other side so giving the same shape same because actually we were losing even you know where to fit exactly so we even lose that so we had to mirror that what process did you do to to rebuild this that's secret secret process I like that I'm fine with that an amazing secret process so well just fiber as the as the the the bumpers are from fiber we have to repare it with fiber so fiber epoxy still give the the proper shape which is the procedure as it was before and now than right now incredible [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] SP [Music] for [Music]
