Alsandr Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I had a new clutch installed Friday and put in my aluminum radiator on Saturday. I need to figure out how to mount it securely, though; it's only held in by the hoses and frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turboat Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Installed and found a few rattles "wiper cowl and hood stop needs to be adjusted up" After removing the OE mount is when I noticed it was broken all the way around. Some added vibrations at idle but feels like less vibrations during driving it. Have about 10 miles on the Funk Lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patra_is_here Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 yeah that whole front end has been cut apart.so much you could move the strut mounts just by pushing on it, needless to say it was never driven like that, didn't even place any load on it. but it's all getting built back up with plate and tube stock. and lots of welds =) wheel lips were polished by a place nearby for $75 per wheel, inside and outside lips.
