bullet proof trans? yep its already made - then i wake up.

Why a custom radiator? Why not, made to fit, looks the part. I believe its worth it. Last time i bought a second hand one, got it re-cord and it worked, but it wasn't as big a surface area and didn't look this good!

Keep up the good work

if you want more than a single core job, then you really have to go custom.

waiting on some bits before doing anymore.so you will have to wait daimo.
as for price for a radiator it depends on size.thicknes ,cores 1.2.3,how many passes you want,blah blah blah.but yes anyone can call me.97737244.
as for the cutting it will be done to a minimum.i have a dumby engine so that i can make small insitions at a time.don't want it to bleed to much.
i will be finishing of everything at the front before starting at the rear.intank surge system ,mount pump then fuel and radiator lines first.then the axe and shoe horn for the rest. should look pretty cool when done.it is a much nicer car in person,can't wait to cut it up.lol.just kidding micky.
i will keep you all posted .
cheers.westi

For earlier model's, pre 2000, its quite cheap - around the $300 mark i think.

Mine is a bit more of a 'do and charge' as the later models have a whole lot more crap on them and whole lot more ECU monitoring etc.

Best to call Alan, he's really helpful and willing.
