Maybe winter/ hibination has something to do with it

Good stuff Hayden looking good!

Not much to report but have bought a ute diff to go in, windows are going in the weekend after easter. Radiator getting sorted at the moment.

Bugger went to put radiator back in last night after having it refurbed........................doesn't fit, very weird as it came out of the car when I stripped it.

Only thing I can think of is that the old radiator support panel may have been modified as this has been replaced

Ohh damn. Hopefully it didn't cost a pretty penny to refurb it!

Luckily it was pretty cheap, can probably just drill a couple of holes in the side mounting rails of the radiator to make it bolt back in.

has the radiator been put back together properly, I did 13 years as a radiator repairer and can tell you its easy to put the sides on round the wrong way.

Yeah pretty sure we checked that but will have another look tomorrow night.
