worked on my cooling system pipes.  Going to try a series system first.

Cut Some aluminum pipe roughed it in.

Have to weld in fan temp sensor and fill cap. Will be interesting welding aluminum 

The diagram of the system came off this website I think

lol no worries just had to mess with ya, Thanks, nah a friend of mine that had a shop painted it for me, Still could use another cut and buff or a good polishing for sure.

Don't forget to drill the hole for the cable and grommet (piece of hose) through the L bracket

nice wheels , but I would after all set up remove and  get old BMW or Corvette rims with crappy tires , so when doing body work and paint they not gonna get damaged. OH BMW /Vette are 5 X 120  maybe you have dif bolt pattern

I'm sure you know the solution to this problem.......

Yes! a good solution would be to get one of your primo SV front bumpers with the grills !!!

Got the QA1 bearing kit in today.

Worked on the floor pan, two objectives make the space wider to fit the seat & brake handle, and drop the floor 1.5 or so inches.

The IKR fiberglass piece was trimmed to fit closer to the inside of the door sill, which gave me about 1/2 inch

The slope from the console was reduced and it gave an additional
+1.5" or so of space.

I used weld through primer....not to happy working with this product or how the welds looked using this stuff,  but it will be covered up anyway 

Now there is plenty of room side to side for the seat and e brake set up

I'm sure you know the solution to this problem.......

Sanded the front bumper to see the extent of bondo, looks to be about 1/4 to 3/8 of inch thick in places....why? 

The other damage is a bit worse than I thought.  The big crack difficult or impossible to reach from the back side.  There are numerous other issues on this bumper.....  Not a REDO but a POS!!

REDO of the REDO on the front framing, tack welded it together.
