[QUOTE]Lombok Islands in Indonesia might not be a known landmark on the world map and certainly not for automobile prominence. But motorheads and their passion for automobiles know no geographical boundaries. Meet Abdul Latif- a workshop owner who fused his craze for Formula 1 with loads of effort and sweat to create his own Scuderia Ferrari F1 replica from scratch.
The components used for the replica are indeed surprising. Latif used a 1980 Daihatsu 550cc Hijet engine to power his creation. The chassis, wheels, shockers and even the tyres are from the same car, which amply indicates the modification toiling Latif would have put in. He constructed the body shell from fibre glass and tried to get the shade as close to the scarlet red F1 car. The custom stickers and sponsor logos shows Latif’s eye for detail and indeed warms one’s heart.

The paint finish looks great
4000 dollars seems quite cheap considering how it turned out. That thing looks good.
Fucking Lombok Island Indonesian MacGuyver. Love that he picked red.
Stuff like this reminds me of how lazy and unmotivated I am
He even has a proper gear.
Talk about consistency.

Well, yeah, it's a Ferrari replica, with all the same sponsor stickers, course he'll paint it Ferrari red.

I demand a monster can with this logo.
But I don't demand a spicy monster drink in the slightest..
