These wheels will set this off.

The wheel studs aren't long enough with the new wheels so I will need to sort out some longer ones.

Spending the rest of the week on the bus AGAIN, did a few hours today...

Finally found all the parts I needed for the handbrake so it's all fitted up.

Also fitted the front calipers and got the wheels on the front.

Couldn't help myself, had to fit the plates to give it a bit more of a finished look. Still far from finished but getting there.

ii think you'll find you will have better cooling if you shroud the fans to the radiator. when the fans suck it will suck air over the whole rad. look in new cars thats how they are set up

The radiator should be set up correctly, a fella with a massive amount of experience and has owned a radiator store in town for decades came out and made the radiator to suit.

This is set up very similar to the VW conversions I looked at on line.

Time will tell....

Spent a fair bit of time under the bus cleaning and getting ready for the radiator to be mounted and the side belly pans.

Had to move a couple of pipes around to make the room.

Put extra stell to brace the chasis
