I know I can't afford, but Ferrari probably doesn't have spare parts for this car anymore, a custom job done here would likely be less?

You know, I really have no idea. I've seen a couple of instances of crashed F40s online, and the cars were always repaired. Sorta makes me think that Ferrari would just do one-offs for the car, or they still have molds, etc.

Expensive cars requires expensive fix. The amount you spend to get this car fix will cost more then the car's worth.
