I have got a friend who owns a 1989 Ferrari Testarossa, which has been seen on GTP before part of another photograph thread. The cold weather has since rolled in and the car has had multiple kilometres put on it, so it is in the shop for the winter. Taking advantage of the rest, my friend decided to have the engine pulled for some replacement and general cleanup. The boxer twelve is having new belts put on, replacing the clutch, alternator rebuild and a new more liberal cat being installed. I was invited down to the garage to take a look at everything and take some photographs of the ordeal. Here's what I got.
The black Testarossa is one of the 6 cars in this particular garage being held over the winter. There are 3 other Testarossas, one of which has 400 original kms on the clock, a brand new F355 (with 7 total km's from the factory), and a 1980 BB512, whose motor precedes the Testarossa's boxer twelve. Here is a shot of the motor in that car.

In the wrkshop, the Testarossa's twelve was on the table, in the midst of the belt change.
