I've done custom sewing in the past. We curently have 3 different sewing machines. Backpacks , Ski/mountaineering stuff, Bike Panniers, repairs, made my own patterns, modified others, etc. At one point had more work than I could get too.
My schedule is funky these days. If not in a hurry, mht work for you. Also depends on when & what you are looking for as to whether I can/want to do something. I am missing my former fabric sources, so depends on your flexibility on exact match. Same for closure...zipper, velcro drawstring, etc. I'd have to see it and go through my raw supplies to see if I already have something. If I have close enought to what you want, once I get the time, it goes real fast.

I'm digging the white on orange of the new one. Shows better in color pics where the old worked well in the B&W pics of "old".

I personally am not a fan of the F40. Kinda cool and all, but it just doesn't have the perfect since of portions of the 288 which I find to be pure car sex. Still, there are other F-cars that are stunning and worth adding one to the quiver. That opens up a whole new thread for debate...name the f-car you thing really captures Ferrari.

You have a Yellow Lambo, Silver Porsche, now you need a Red Ferrari. Proportions will be right.
We'll work on the rest of you shopping list after you add the f-car to your stable. Oh yea, you willl also need the Ferrari jeans, tennis shoes, socks, undies, etc, but that's all understood. (As if I can really speak with all the Datsun stuff I have. LOL)

Oh well... going to tackle these problems one at a time. :/

Cleaning is easy, notfun, but easy. You'll feel beter about moving forward after that.
You cannot safely plug a sidewall, so if its in the tread, go for it.
You need to figure out the door handle issue. It will continue to annoy you. Should be an "easy" fix. You need to pull it apart and figure out what is not working. Could be simple, or just a replacement part.
Forget the fog lights. If one is damaged, it will be a waste of time.
Tail light covers should be easy to find at a pick-n-pull for chaep. Just swap. Will save you a possible ticket for faulty lights.
Driver's seat. If you are the only driver, ignore it for now.
Gas guage. Most likely the sending unit which is usally located inside the gas tank which can be a doable, but pain inthebutt project. Less gas in the tank the better.
I need to get on my desktop PC to locate a possible site for free factory service manuals foryour car. Stay tuned....
