This man had a lifelong dream to own a supercar and decided to pay $10,957 for a scrap Ferrari F430 that was in a terrible state – but he worked hard on it, and miraculously, it’s now stunning.

This car barely missed being in the scrapyard as it came filthy, with missing parts, and smelled awful.

Not only did it look hideous, but when he disassembled the supercar, he found serious internal damage, like a broken spring and a snapped chain, as well as a large piece of metal inside the engine.

It seemed like bringing this car back from the dead would be impossible, but the YouTuber worked hard to make it look – and sound – stunning.

Lots of people have a dream to have their own supercar, like this YouTuber who decided that he would do anything to own a Ferrari F430, even buying a hideous one that was destined for the scrapyard.

And he’s not alone. Ferraris inspire auto enthusiasts everywhere, just like this owner who buys the Italian supercars no one else wants.

This content creator, though, dropped $10,957 on a scrap Ferrari F430, and it was in a hideous state: completely filthy, coming with missing parts, and it smelled terrible.

It seemed like it would be almost impossible to bring it back from the dead. But the YouTubers from Mechanic PVN decided that they would resurrect the supercar and try and get it looking good, both inside and out.

Despite its hideous exterior, the YouTuber hoped that the interior of the scrap Ferrari F430 was in better condition. But it turned out that the interior was even worse.

A large broken piece of metal was found inside the engine, and when he started disassembling the supercar, he found a snapped chain and a giant broken spring, showing serious internal damage.

Metal fragments were caught in the oil filter, and the piston and cylinder wall showed serious damage, too.

The YouTuber replaced pretty much all of the engine components, including the cylinder liners, gaskets, heads, crankshaft, camshaft, and rocker arms.

After reassembling the engine, he fixed the bodywork by sanding, puttying, and repainting the whole supercar using official Ferrari paint codes.

After fixing issues with the suspension and a pressure leak in the clutch, he got the supercar up and running smoothly, and miraculously, it looked and sounded great.

This mechanic must be a literal miracle worker.
