And finally a coat of acid etch to protect the bare metal while they are away being machined again

Small update - i got a gift from Mr ebay for £20....thanks very much!

One Frontera inter cooler in surprisingly good condition

One front panel in need of some surgery

The first incision

And the waist material removed

So i thought i would just try the cooler in place

I'm please with the initial fitment although some fettling is needed, i think i'm going to fab something up to suit these original mounts.

I'm not 100% sure what yet but i have some ideas, i may use these rubbers instead though.

Before i finished off butchering the front panel i decided i would move the rad mounts so i knew what i had to work with.

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...rcooler012.jpg

A little neater here with two new rad mount holes

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...rcooler013.jpg

I temporarily sprayed a little primer around the new holes to keep the damp out so i could fit the rubber gromits and inturn the rad

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...rcooler014.jpg

Once the rad was inplace i could start to position the intercooler in a more permanant location, to work out what room i had for pipe work etc

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...rcooler019.jpg

Once i was happy with the coolers location, i decided i would refit the front bumper and bonnet to see what i was left with

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...rcooler021.jpg

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...rcooler022.jpg

Again i'm surprised at how well things fit as i don't think much of the bumper will need removing although i could be wrong lol

Ignore the white bonnet and white bits on the bemper if you will but i think it will look alright.

I will hopefully get some more done tomorrow thanks for looking :thumb:

Looking good :)

That looks good, quite neat. Nice work.

Will pull that f20 out for you this week.

Cheers chaps

That inter cooler fitment is a nice tidy job for first trail fit! Only you could call that a trail fit.. lol

Looking better, it's just nice to see something in the bay again.

Ah that brings back memories! Good work as always chap. Didn't fancy an sr/gte bumper tho to cover it up?

Simps.
