hey guys, its been awhile since ive posted. the gj project is coming along great(wouldn't notice much by looking at it) but i have the reco 2.6l and reco jap 5 speed in and running great. started tidying up all the wiring the old man before me decided was needed :/ i have a box of wires that he ran for lights and horns and god knows what else ,so its looking alot nicer
my question today is. radiator options. mines almost rooted and its time for a new one. now i seem to spend alot of time at the wreckers these days looking for bits and pieces and have noticed alot of different radiators that could be made to fit. just wondering if anyone else has upgraded to a radiator out of a different model car. ill only be running the stock 2.6l and 34adm Weber carb so aren't going to be needing anything too special and dont want to go buy a new or reco one. and all the sigmas i find have worse radiators then mine. i found a colt with a Saturn motor and the radiator looks identical but was thinking maybe a newer model small car . any input would be great as that's the next thing to be done. ... also have a few surprises that ill be doing i think you guys will enjoy , but you'll just have to wait till its done to find out
if all goes to plan the car should be done and on the road no later than july next year but aiming for earlier in the year
little bit of fiddling around but a perfect fit, good looking radiator , just need to make yourself some mounts, i used 2 for the top i found at the wreckers out of a kia of some sort, chopped them down added a smaller grommet and bolted it up. tomorrows job, the bottom mounts .. but a pretty straight forward swap .
