    Looking forward to seeing more of this build. Good work so far. The soldered copper lines are a cool idea.

    Started of the front rad conversion first off cut out a bigger hole of the front grill.



    I got a custom rad made up for the car also using two Bike fans.




    Got loads of ally and started making the ducting for the rad



    Made the surrports for the fans





    Some swearing and tons of hours later this was made





    Made these for the pipes to pass though.



    Then started to work out the pipe work and all fitted my fan controller





    Started routing the pipes

    But diced this pipe was to small. 22mm, so went to wickes and got some 28mm






    Also got loads of braided fuel line for the car.



    Made this ally box for the cut off switch



    I moved the coil into the car ( blue wires for the remote water pump switch)



    Made a rail for the releys for the front of the car.



    Made these to strap the spare wheel down
