Looking great Tilly, I can't wait till I'm that far along.

Is that a snowflake that looks like you have 2 headlights on 1 side?

How close is your oil cooler to your rad? I'm wondering if you will have enough airflow through the cooler to provide enough cooling as it covers much of the rad. Moving it further away may help. However I may be talking complete boolucks and you may have no cooling issues at all, but I guess you won't find that out till you drive it.

Keep up the good work!

Well done Tilly,

The bodywork looks superb. Where did you get the seats from ?

Nice one Tilly.
I would have thought that the oil rad can sit behind the water radiator, not in front of it.
The air that goes through the oil cooler may be near 100 degrees C, in which case it heats up the water instead of cooling it. I might be wrong but ask around.
