Wonder what the cert man will think about the amount of steel i have removed :shock: I got a bit carried away

Made silicon joiners from thick S/S that were super hard to bend into a 2 1/2 circle and are rather tight on the joins took the tip of one of my fingers trying to force them on!

Just need a few more hose clamps as the 2.5's don't fit over my mega tight joins these puppies shouldn't blow off.

Purchased a reversible fan. Little confused, i presumed it would suck the air through the radiator as it was advertised as a reversible pull through fan but no matter which way i have the polarity and the fan blades flipped it doesn't really pull air through just blows allot out the back. You wouldn't have it blowing air out the front of the car? or would you? what have you other escort guys done with your civic radiators?

(there is slightly more room than there appears)

One arch 95% welded up.

Realized i was just welding and not thinking ahead ... so decided to fold the lip over itself for added regidity and then run a bead of seam sealer along er. will slip down seam sealer very last so i don't cause it to lift from the welds heat.
