It's out of a 1980s Mercedes. Just what was on the shelf at the radiator shop that kinda fitted and was around the right price. Guy knew it was for a rotary and said this is a half pie decent one. Should definitely keep it cool. Some one had ordered it and never picked it up. 

 

A Toyota hilux was the right kinda shape and what not but the price was not fitting with in my cheep nasty budget

I feel like gregs post didn't do Chrome justice- What an awesome day!

There were a few issues but would have felt strange if there wasn't. 

 

Dunno if i should share my vids here..Feeling insanely pissed off because a few of them have gone missing/been deleted accidentally

i actually sold the rotary engine in November / December. 

It wasn't something i really wanted to do but i kinda suggested it to a dude and he was hella keen and paid what i was asking for it, so i sold it.

the money went on a loan and put me in a better position. 

so she is kinda going into storage for a while and ill rebuild it with a 12a,13b injected engine but build the engine or i might buy new from mazda for a 13b and do it all correct this time instead of over 22 days.

need to sort some things out and do it a lot more correct so i can drive it a lot more freely and on the road. 

i might buy another bug and just not put a rotary in it in the mean time. 

we will see.

but we will see a rotary beetle again that is for sure.
