michael5556 247 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Rearranging with new radiator. Getting rid of the strut brace as it's just not doing the job. Not sure on the oil coolers position though. Opinions? Started stripping the mk3 now I've realised I bent the chassis Anyway the car is booked into the body shop for Saturday. So the mk2 is getting stripped this week. Lots of pictures hopefully. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
