![]() So ive got a bit done recently
First i built an spacer for the new rear coolant pipe for the reroute to move it out from the block ![]() Then i filled in the the hole in the side coolant connector ![]() Used a 20 cent to stop the epoxy running into it ![]() Filled with epoxy ![]() The hole was a feed for the interior heater so is not needed

![]() Next up was to mount the radiator to the chassis
I was originally going to use a spurious golf rad which was not great looking to be fair then coolex had nice ali rads for a polo for quiet cheap at the national kit car show so i picked one up I Got two brackets bent up for it to mount it to the chassis ![]() Clamped in place to check everything lines up ![]() Checking the fit of the nose cone ![]() I decided to add two new pieces to the chassis rather than drill through the existing chassis ![]()

![]() Wiring is one of my next big tasks. Are you going to shorten/remove unneeded pieces on the stock harness?

![]() I have most of the unnecessary wiring stripped out now.
The car i stripped had almost every extra electronic thing available so i reckon i have about half of the origional wiring removed I just needs lots of organising and adjusting. If your gonna strip the unnecessary wiring make sure you have a good wiring diagram
