    i think i would need to find a rotten derv donor and cut the chassis leg and copy/use the front end.

    Its not due to radiator exactly, it's for clearance to remove the rad with the turbo on. Cross member is the same afaik, at worst it needs a hole banging through it if you did use the larger rad, which it really doesn't need unless you're hammering it on track, I never ran a fan on mine as it runs so cool off load.

    Thats filler primer but yes its also in a rather nice mustard matt. its going silver. i want the engine to look like it just came out the factory. plus rumor has it the red spark plug cover is good for +8bhp due to it being a genuine "redtop"
