While Fixing my Cheap Ferrari’s Convertible Top we Found a Major Disaster

1. My pal has a cadillac suv with an hydraulic ram activating the rear hatch. There is even its own pump that is under the center hatch latch. To put a new lump in you must essentially take out all the rear interior panels and part of the roof headliner to get to it. What crappy engineering.

2. Can you tell me who did the repairs on the pistons for you. I have one failing on my 430

3. This is maddening , Ferrari used the Gavin Newsom approach for convertible top operation.

4. Ive wanted to make mine manual from day one. Mercedes very simular to your top.

5. Great content and kind comments to help each other.
   Great the way you are not afraid to try and learn.

6. Its crazy to think we spend so much money on these cars yet they break down every 5k miles lmao…

7. I like your style 😎 . Do it right kinda guy!

8. I would take as far as Ebay

9. Really dig you working on these 360s I have one and I am taking your advice! 👍

10. I love your channel Sam!!! So, a thought about the convertible top… I'd be willing or happy, if this was my ride, to remove the convertible top completely!!! However, my idea would require a "removable hard-top"…Does anyone make a hard-top for this spider? Would be really cool!!!

11. Should’ve used tig. Easier to control heat and filler metal.

12. there are less points of failure in a hydraulic system

13. Personally I think it has way more potential than simply being parted out, that would be absolute sacrilege!

14. DOOO ITTTT

15. I would make it a manual top

16. Theses car are junk

17. Cars a simple money pit

18. Hi sam as a form gm and porsche tech the reason why you dont jump start modern cars is defo not a old wifes tale, we blew a ecu & bms (battery managment system on a part exchanged bmw 1 series and a c350cdi mercedes jumping them from the batteries & it's why most european cars have jump terminals in various places under the bonnet.
    at best you blow a code or cheapish relay but at worst thousands wort of damage, best thing to do is remove batteries and leave them all on a smart charger or use the kill switches alot of exotic cars have some the factory and then a smart charger onto the battery (that what we did with all 80 cars we kept in stock at the dealership) hope this helps

19. Cars like this are built for fat guys with short diks

20. Over engineered Italian junk

21. What I like about this channel is that I've learned that this life isn't for me.

    I talked about this channel with my uncle, who used to be an auto body shop owner. He said even with all his resources, sometimes dealing with a salvage car still ended up not being worth it.

22. Do you think you could integrate 3D printing into your car repairs? Maybe for small one-off parts?

23. A electric motor does not have the strength at high speeds to keep it canvas down is the only thing I can think of why they would use hydraulic system on the top

24. Why can't you disconnect all the hydraulic stuff and just open and close manually?

25. Absolutely shit design.
    Every single one of those pistons should be an electric actuator. There is absolutely no reason for the roof to be hydraulically operated.

26. Good job!!

27. 3 months on, what's happening? You got this sorted?

28. can't you get a removable hardtop for this?.

29. I tried to purchase 2 leather conditioners using SAMCRAC as the code and it was not valid. I canceled the order. I tried!
