fitted the TTE bumper today and the intercooler had to be moved upwards a little bit so now theres even more less space for the fans for the radiator so going to order slim fans today and see if they fit in the space left between the radiator and intercooler. also cut the bumper like stav did so the intercooler could draw more in. will post pics up later

Thanks Nik. well the car has to be completed before July because its going to the biggest show in Scotland called scottish modified in edinburgh but as the work is going could be completed start of june. it all really depends on how busy the garage is. all that is left now is getting downpipe and manifold made and get it all sent away for cermic coating and while those are away. the propshaft will be getting made and then wiring. after that will be getting the car running etc then painted. well insurance is going to be under the garages traders policy so cool that way.
