Ok then, I have had all weekend off so have been working on the car. I spent yesterday working on the rad with my mate, the end tanks are almost done.
Today I stripped the whole engine bay apart from the engine and then I had to modify the starter motor and my new spal fan, along with the front panel, a lot, but luckily it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would as the grill still sits reasonably well *smiley* Now I can get the rad finished with the inlet / outlet and then start on the intercooler.

I have 3 piles starting in the shed now 1.stuff I need
2.stuff I don't need any more
3.stuff in CAD I need to make or get made.

What a mess!!
