the paintwork really ist that bad but i detest the colour(s) !!! ps: the engine in mine IS an a-series - an ikkle 1275 like the big mini engine - just had to modify the direction of the downpipe as mine is mounted longtitudinaxxx lontitoodxxx LENGTHWAYS !!! He he - theres going to be a slight difference in performance between the two, then? ;D Great! can't wait to hear how the V8 one drives - I presume other areas of the pick-up are modified to cope with the extra power?

Hmmm, the V8 idea using the two rads is something I'll have to look at when I think about re-engining my GT. Got to stick the van axle in first with the 3.9:1 diff - still well noisy after RCS but still usable....

them slimline fans are EXPENSIVE - phew ! Take a look in the scrappies - a lot of these modern blob-mobiles have very limited under-bonnet space and employ quite slim fans. I know the Mercedes W126 has a rather slim electric fan, but it's quite a large diameter. Other stuff might suffice though.
