Florida man finds hidden damage on 2006 Lamborghini, and is pumped after fixing it for peanuts vs dealer prices

A Florida man who bought a damaged and ‘beat up’ 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder was able to save himself some serious cash by fixing it himself for cheap.

He got the 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder for ‘real cheap’ at auction. 

However, he realized it was sold for a low price for good reason: the car was crying out for repair work. 

Fortunately, its new owner knew exactly what to do and got it fixed up without having to fork out at a dealership.

The 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder was a bargain buy

While it’s wonderful to see any car get a fitting and well-thought out restoration, there’s something particularly exciting when the vehicle in question happens to be an exotic or high-end model, like this Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale that was given a seven-month restoration by its new owner, or this Ferrari F40 that once belonged to Nigel Mansell that’s was spruced up in California. 

Over in Florida, the man behind the Flying Wheels YouTube channel advised his followers that if you want a luxury car, but you aren’t rich, then you’ll need to learn how to fix them yourself. 

Showing a solid example of that, he revealed he’d recently bought a 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder for a bargain price at auction. 

As you might expect with the low price tag, the Lambo was in need of some repairs. 

“The problem was the car was beat up,” he explained. “It was in rough shape in a lot of places, and to be quite honest with you, the entire car was a gamble.” 

However, after bringing it in for a service and inspection, he was told the 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder was running well. 

But there was still a handful of cosmetic repairs it needed, and rather than take it to a mechanic or back to the dealership, he decided to tackle them himself. 

The front of the Lamborghini had been cracked and broken at some point, and the previous owner had filled it with spray foam and covered it with fiber tape. Not ideal. 

The paintwork had several scratches and was in need of some TLC to get it back to its best. 

Removing the old carbon fiber tape and spray foam was no easy task, but the YouTuber was able to remove a damaged screen at the front of the Lamborghini to get access to the foam to get rid. 

The broken bumper was fixed with some fiberglass, which was sanded and painted to match the rest of the car. 

He also fixed the $400 broken screen and fitted some front and rear cameras. 

By the time he was done, the car looked as good as new, and you’d never guess it had been in such rough shape previously. 

What’s next for the Lamborghini?

Thanks to the YouTuber’s hard work, the 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder was left looking as good as the day it rolled off the production line. 

After putting hours of work into the vehicle, he now plans to sell it for a tidy profit, considering he bought it cheap and repaired it himself.
