Thanks, I have been more of a reader than a writer!


I am using the stock fan shroud, but I cut part of it away to fit the cold air intake. And just have the electric fan attached to the rad. I can take another pic of that if you want, just let me know.


Where are you from?

What was your frame clean up and paint process?

What was your frame clean up and paint process?

Put the body on a rotisserie, used wire brushes and flap disks on an angle grinder to remove rust off of floor and frame. Then I used Eastwood fast etch to convert any hard to reach rust. Painted floor and frame inside and out. 2 coats grey, and one coat black. I can give specific products if you want. Got it from Eastwood.com in the states....this is certainly an oversimplification, and can give you details on certain parts if interested. Overall, I probably spent roughly 300 hours on the project spanning about 18 months. And heading to the garage tomorrow to diagnose some engine codes!
