This was a bit unplanned ... one minute I was browsing through the for sale section when I saw an ebay 'mclinky' by Thugpuggin and the inner pug went into Defcon 5 mode! One slight problem was 383 miles to get from Devon to Newcastle very fast! ![]() train 6 hours 22 mins |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Changed original Front Radiator, Condenser, Freon Pipes, Aircon drier, Power steering cooling pipe, full service, reconditioned brakes, SRF brake fluid, G30 antifreeze, Mobil 1 engine oil. Change 3" scorpion for an OEM mid and back box. I will change the wheels back to cyclones shortly. Thanks to Dan for helping out with touching up the front end paintwork - amazing job. The new OEM radiator was £115 from Advanced radiators and the condenser was £110 - OEM Behr one which was flat unlike previous OEM's being curved. Why do they have a curve? the BEhr one above was a much better deisgn. |
