down sharon.

So is that a custom made VW - Subi radiator??
Futue te ipsum!!!
the wagons gonna make a real nice car
consumate excellence re the radiator as per usual westy. 😎
however, why didn't you just find one from an existing production car? cheaper and easier I would have thought?
btw, Mick, are u getting that bullet proof trans built yet? Gee I hope so. 🤪
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!

2nd hand? are you kidding. I meant buy a new one from a parts retailer. that's what I did.
custom radiatrs are good for the people selling them😂😂
But seriously I had a custom one made up and its just over half the size of a stock wrx and it works fine and fits in good.
Keep up the good work
😂🤪😂🤪😂
car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲
if you want more than a single core job, then you really have to go custom.
Yeh i like....nice stuff😎....but you dont need that rad that big.
Engine is out and loom is stripped from Car.
The loom (box full of wire's and plastic bits) is on its way to Al from Am auto.

A few shots.
Pobjoy engine left yesterday for Adelaide ( im still receiving calls about it!!)
looking great how much does he charge to modify the loom

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
down sharon.
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.
