Re: thinking of restoring a 365

<r>Posted by tom <br/> <br/> Jaime,<br/> <br/> As with all restoration projects, the advice is to buy the best example you can afford.

Re: RTV silicone and other stuff

<t>Posted by mike <br/> <br/> Sorry I didn't explain it better. Just take some normal sewing thread (silk is supposed to be best, but I've used cotton or polyester), and lay a single thread all the way round the perimeter of the joint, going around the inside of any bolt holes. Try and keep half way...

RTV silicone and other stuff

<t>Posted by Mike <br/> <br/> First, I'd like to say how much I enjoy your website -it's one of the best! <br/> <br/> Your comments about using too much silicone RTV reminded me of when I used to use it for sealing the rocker boxes on my old Triumph Bonneville. I was working at Rolls-Royce aero engi...

Another thing, take a look at 365's that have already been restored. The asking price for those cars will let you know what kind of cash is involved here.

Re: thinking of restoring a 365

<t>Posted by Tom <br/> <br/> Is this a 365 2+2? 365GTB4, 365GTC4, and the list goes on! The reason why this can make a difference is the type of heads you will be looking for. On the 2+2, they will single overhead cams, and with the GTB4 and GTC4, they will be four cams (two cams per cylinder). Eith...

thinking of restoring a 365

<t>Posted by JAime Garchitorena <br/> <br/> Well like you Ive almost decided to be a Ferreri owner although this one will need more work than yours.
