    about 3 years ago I sold all my new GSI parts, that’s when it was no going back, unfortunately covid delayed things a bit

    Brilliant!!

    Front bumper and grille are going to need some imagination. Or is there scope to shift some bits backwards?

    Radiator in the back?

    bumper and grille should be ok,,ish, main issue is the inlet, it might need a bit of a makeover, thinking about ditching the air to air coolers and using a charge cooler with the core cooled by means on a small evaporator linked into the air con system. It would mean I could ditch a huge amount of weight and pipe work, meaning I only need a coolant radiator and condenser at the front, the standard GSI bumper and grille should supply enough cooling for that, these engines don’t run an oil cooler either so that’s less demand on space too.

    still a hell of a lot of work but the base looks good
