Looks good, but that one would not fit a bugeye as far as I am aware due to the top of the radiator.

I have not given it the full care it needs for a few years but last year after a real fun drive out I am back focused on getting my car back as it should be. I have fitted a water meth injection kit, have got a external fuel pump and swirl pot to fit as well as a box of other bits. so hopefully a lot of spanner rash to come but worth it in the end.

Last RR session 390 bhp, on a much cooler day a few years ago 440 bhp. Would be good to get it on the rollers under similar conditions and see what the figures are once all fitted.

Received a nice box to day with my new radiator, so drained coolant down tonight get last bits out tomorrow night then remove radiator and prep new item for fitting. Just need the new header tank to be ready to collect and then get it all connected and filled up!!

Bit wet tonight but radiator in place, cleaned up the samco hoses all ready for plumbing up tomorrow. got the new header tank today so just need to re-route a meth injection pipe before fitting. Also did the throttle body bypass mod to stop coolant warming up the throttle body. If the weather is nice should be all connected and the car will be ready to start the following evening. Might be a bit loud and upset the neighbours if I start it up after 9 pm.
