Any one here recently fitted a front mounted intercooler to a 94 classic with the standard bumper .Was it a big job with alot of modifying and did u need to buy a new smaller radiator to fit it?

Thanks

Adding up all the 'hour here, hour there' bits, i recon about 10 to 12 hours to get it finished.

If you had done one before, about 8 on your own.

i did mine a few months back

first time i did one and was easy to do

in total it took around the 6 hour mark

when you cut the front bumper just be carefull not to cut out to much

best way do a little at a time

To make the front bumper cutting safe and easy, use cardboard to make a template and cut inside the actual finished size for the first cut(s)
also use a felt tip marker so you have a clear line to see.
Allow a full weekend for the first time but after you have done a few this comes down to half a day with the right facilities and tools.

Dead right from Harvey. I used a genuine Hybrid kit and it was great which i bough of Harvey.
I found a jig saw with a medium blade on SLOW speed cut the bumper perfectly well.
