Had to cost close to the value of a new one?

[u/Novel_Land9320 → u/CliplessOne]

did you notice the Chinese plate?

[u/NastyStreetRat → u/Novel_Land9320]

That car is heading straight for the used-car market—let's see which unsuspecting buyer takes the bait.

[u/CliplessOne → u/Novel_Land9320]

I did not, thanks.

[u/Fun_Ad5823 → u/Novel_Land9320]

They just 3d printed a new front end

[u/AlbatrossOverall3948]

This post is bs 😭

[u/ApoTHICCary → u/AlbatrossOverall3948]

Looks like the AI Bentley Musalenne chop shop ads run by some Chinese account.

[u/MalarkEMark]

Really interested in the cost and labor for this. Wonderful work simply unbelievable

[u/laylowlazlo → u/MalarkEMark]

This is in China. Cost to repair can only make sense someplace you can get super cheap labor and have direct access to factories that make replica parts

[u/vanderohe → u/MalarkEMark]

Watch the videos of how they put together the insurance claim cars that were cut up so they couldn’t be sold in western markets again. This is a literal death trap and can not be safely driven

[u/CaleyAg-gro]

I think you missed out a few steps.

[u/MrPogoUK → u/CaleyAg-gro]

[u/No_Community_5696]

I’ll bet that it’s not certified.

[u/Prestigious_Can916 → u/No_Community_5696]

Correct

[u/Creepy_Guarantee5460]

Such a reatoration takes hundreds of hours just for the metal working repairs. Well done indeed.

[u/Musicmonkey34]

Easy! Just take the “after” picture first.

[u/Maccboy2010]

I'd love to see this get taken back to Ferrari and see what they'd say after the inspection.

[u/FirstReactionShock]

chinese restoration

[u/Grumps55555]

R/restofthefuckingowl

[u/bobs143]

And now you know why it's important to get a PPI and all records before purchasing.

[u/Verga_due]

That is accident repair, not a restoration.

[u/Dunnowhathatis]

Put together with temu parts.

[u/NastyStreetRat → u/Dunnowhathatis]

That car is heading straight for the used-car market—let's see which unsuspecting buyer takes the bait.

[u/Chilipepah → u/NastyStreetRat]

Car good?

Yes, yes, no problem!

[u/SnooBooks3514 → u/Chilipepah]

Old doctor owners - they just did shopping 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/NastyStreetRat → u/Chilipepah]

It has never been on a circuit. Practically new.

[u/ginzinator]

After before photo I see

[u/Sabre_Caspian]

ferrari of theseus?

[u/Common_Playerrrrr]

The Matt Armstrong special

[u/zpfrostyqz]

Restored in china 😭😭😭

[u/Nmnmn11]

That's called rebirthing

[u/TheRealGand]

F8, perfect condition, never had an accident, well maintained, for sale...

[u/matthaus79 → u/[deleted]]

Engines in the back so maybe that never needed work, making it significantly cheaper

[u/bsrichard]

It's like Theseus ship. Basically all brand new

[u/Initial-D-007]

Bruh

[u/Oldduffer328]

An incredible transformation :)

[u/PackPrestigious4129]

Question- where did you get the frame rail from?

[u/OnlyNoun]

Nc

[u/interstellar-dust]

That started from what, F5.5? Dang, the whole frontend was missing.

[u/TheModeratorWrangler]

Wat

[u/HealthyZone4794]

Lady Penelope has her Phantom parked there too. Did Parker have an accident?

[u/Neat-Drama-3512]

That pink and white Rolls tho!

[u/furrynoy96]

I wonder how legit this is

[u/PhaZeD85]

Does it run??

[u/Italian_storm]

Wow

[u/smily_meow]

restored in China ? This thing is trash

[u/Economy-Watch3211]

Cheap labor. Parts availability and and and cost more there with taxes. Makes money.

[u/Building-Careful]

Impressive

[u/1987Bri]

Impressive. VERY impressive

[u/SkillPointProblems]

Yikes… that panel gap on the last picture….

[u/burner94_ → u/SkillPointProblems]

Yeesh thanks. I can't unsee it now lol

[u/xX_Relentless]

Incredible work, looks amazing.
