[QUOTE]ok, well i removed the bodge
oks fine from here!
looks fine from here!
maybe not so :P
old and new
also patched the worst bits of the crossmember for now, and fitted the new mount, this is what went back in. me attempts at welding the crossmember up are not good, but the metal is very thin and rusty, so i'm not really surprised. it's a lot stronger than it was, and it wasnt showing any signs of this weakness causing problems, so i'm happy, but a new crossmember is still something i'm looking for sooner rather than later.
ready to go back in
today something else happened.
liberated the parts V70 of this... (that's the 940 one above and the one i planned to fit below)
it didnt fit though, not really surprising considering it's from a transverse FWD and i'm trying to fit it to a longitudinal RWD. the rads are exactly the same size, but the bottom hose on the 940 rad fouls the cowl on the V70 fan unit. no problem
it fits, sort of!
not enough space for a fan though :|
then i had a brain wave
que more hacking
this then goes in here to become this
