Hi All,
Bit of an update, I have been working flat out on the car for the past few days. Unexpected time off work so a week dedicated to the datto now.
I have finished the rad support mod, this was a huge job in the end, I shouldn’t have made up all the holes before fitting the Intercooler, turns out I had to chop away most of the work I had done then blah you all know the story. So it looks a bit funky because of the colours etc but it’s all pretty neat. I’d hate to think how much time I put into that rad support.... Anyways job done, will run some rubber along the bottom edge and also around the IC silicon piping. Also slightly cut the rad support brace and then re-welded it to look factory, well kinda factory. Actually I think this was a waste of time but eh why not.
Today I made the rad support mounts, based off Nik’s advise. Came up really well. Need a nutsert/rivnut tool to install it but im struggling to part with $150 + for a tool which will be used about 10-20 times on the car. Hmmm need to find one somewhere.
All feedback welcome
**EDIT**
In case anyone is wondering, that looks dangerous in the 3rd photo. It's bolted into a stand at the back, "dodgy stand" at the front and then strap around the roof onto the a-frame in the shed as a backup. That suckers going nowhere!
