Man am I excited about tomorrow as I'm going to help a new ferrari buddy Alan changeout some fuel line's and such on his carbed 308GTB. The car is at his brother in-law's house which is close to AJ Foyt's shop so we are also gonna swing by there also.

Here is a pic of Alan and his 308 with Mario. He has another 3 serie's which I think we will be driving so I might get to drive my first Ferrari also !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I just got back from today's 1st journey into Ferrari maintenance. We got most of the fuel line's replaced but still have a major gas leak coming from the outline of the fuel pump. We just ran out of light so we will finish her up tomorrow and drive her home, I can't wait LOL! It's amamzing because you know how they say everyone has a twin somewhere? Well Alan is a twin too another close friend of mine Richard and is just as cool, no stodgy uptight ferrari owner that's forsure he is way cool!

Alan also has 3 more ferrari's laying around and is doing some very minor maintenance on two of them, there all runner's, and the third is a driver, so I see some really cool cruise's in the future. Anyway I got tied up with his brother-in-law re-installing the tranny in his dodge pickup while Alan ran the last fuel line's. Great family he has they have a cattle and horse ranch on 100 acre's, where the ferrari is stashed, and we all just enjoyed the day and the good company.

I will take alot more pic's tomorrow but here are a few till then and dont let the pic's fuel you Alan say's she run's strong it's just dirty:

Well we got her running today and drove her back to Houston. We had to replace every fuel line as I stated yesterday but today's task was replacing all the fuel line's too and from the fuel pump and too and from the fuel filter which you see in this first pic, enjoy! I'll get a few video's up soon.

Awesome pics, I would love to rebuild an old wreck someday (and not the PS3 Caolan). The two tone 308 is lovely, but the cost of restoration is massive surely?
