The Racetractor. The End.

[Piggy]

so made a little progress today. spent the whole morning, from 8am-1pm ish stripping parts off the green turd. IE hubs, shafts, turbo, inlet, piping here and there, gti MC, gti ARB, mbc, etc etc. no wheels or hubs....so its sitting looking a bit sorry for itself

FOURTH bloddy belt lucky....6pk1600 in the end...i put that up so I can find it for future reference! anyway. got that sorted.

Not sure how you made yours fit dumdum, but the lower rad pipe, runs along chassis leg, was about 4inches too short. So, made one out of two and a lovely straight adapter.



popped a couple of Toms stickers on the struts...very happy, go on sweet.



Got rads in and fitted the two slimline fans...not wired in yet, but not panicking about that as I will just use original fan loom.

Then started the rather confusing job of mocking up the intercooler and its piping. turbo to intercooler is easy...but from inter to inlet is a bugger.
rekon i will tilt top of rad back a little so they sit at slight angle and run a pipe over top of rad. Can run the oil cooler pipes that way too then.

Any...another very long hot day...so quickly mocked up some front end parts to inspire me to get up early again and crack on......
