Car had the slim plastic and alloy radiator on when I got it. Fan was running all the time. So new Coolex one on now 

Good stuff, should make a huge difference, mine did 👍

Winter respray and PPF to save up for.

So what have you done there?

Nice alloy bell housing and an easy swap.

Swapped the cast iron one for a alloy bell housing, but had to cut the starter motor casing off as it clashes with the chassis.

Thanks to Sean for delivering the Devon and Somerset Area flag to me recently, good to finally have it available for events. It only had a spike with it and a rather large base which you fill with water, so I thought I would make something more compact from bits and bobs I had around the garage, but mainly some aluminium tube from a broken camping chair, some threaded rod and a couple of blocks of wood. (EDIT aswell as the bit from the spike that the flag mounts on). After a couple of false starts, this one works well, just needs a sand down and a coat or two of paint.

The original foot plate weighs a ton so you will be glad you made this, I like it! I hope you have some blue and orange paint 😉

Got the DA out, never compounded gel coat before, but it's coming up very well.

If anyone's interested that Meguiars worked a treat, got rid of the minor swirls and not too aggressive. Helps its only half a car.
