hodge Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 That fan kit and Rad look stunning! Painting them black will look superb too mate! If you don't mind me asking, how much did the rad and fans come to together with your sourcing method? The rad cost me 125 quid delivered. It's an ASI alloy radiator. I've fitted then to other members cars and know there good quality and a good fit also. I don't see the point in spending a fortune on a koyo or fluidyne if this does the job. The fan worked out to be I think 140 ish quid delivered from the US but I did have 25 quid customs charge to pay but non on the rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdMorris Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Sorry to hear about the bonnet. Like Ray says, look at it as a minor setback. Keep focused on the bigger picture and the final goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Got all my wire for the fusebox today and started the crappy task of soldering all 33 wires then when I've done that Ill be fitting it to the car and soldering the other end up LOL oh what fun.

hodge Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Centre panel has dried and is ready for some body filler. Quite happy with the results.. Odviously its a little thin in the centre but ill thivken the back up with some more fibreglass before the final fit for the Dash2. Heres a few bits I got from speedflow the other day. -8an fuel filter -8an to 2x-6an Y piece. 4x-12an weld on fittings for the breather kit. After This is the result of a marithon soldering session today from 2 til 7.30pm. Ive measured up, cut and soldered all the cables on the fusebox long enough to run the cabling through the inner wing to the glovebox. Ive played safe and went for almost 2.5 metres of cable just so there is no stress on the cables when its ran into the cabin. I have to finish making an enclosure to mount it in the glovebox. Im really not looking forward to having to go through it all again when I attach it to the car but needs must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_A Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Jesus John, you don't believe in doing things by halves do you! Is that dash panel the little beasty that's coming to me for some paint? Any word on the shiny bits we ordered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that dash panel the little beasty that's coming to me for some paint? No news on the rings yet keV but I'll let you know as soon as they arrive mate. Yet that's 1of the panels to be painted but I recon it's gona take a while to finish. I've got 3 ready whenever you fancy collecting then. I'd bring then over but seems I've only got 1 leg lmao.... Wow what a loom looks like a long job, and the dash is coming along a treat. Well let's hope it works or it's gona be a total electrical nightmare LOL.

hodge Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 With sore fingers from all the soldering and wire stripping yesterday I decided to have a bit of an easy day today. But not able to just do nothing I thought id start on some of the dash trims I got some of these bits from Thor and the rings I got from ebay. I must say these rings i got from ebay are the best rings iv ever fitted. I literally just bent the backs a little and they popped in no problems at all, and are very secure. Much better than the EB-Designs rings that were on the market a year or so ago. Going to do abit of work on the centre panel tomorrow and start flattening off the filler so I can errmmmm put some more filler on it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
