Back in August I went for a fang enjoying making poosts but then wamp wah. Started getting hot and steam from engine bay. I could see water and steam coming out under the intake manifold.

Got a ride home thanks to AA plus and left it in the garage while I went around Europe for a month

Finally did some further investigating yesterday and found it.

So much room under the nose...the condenser is bolted to the nose cone and you can only access the bolts by half pulling the nose off the car...3x2 bonnet stay ftw

I played match the radiator hose at supercheap with @GuyWithAviators today. Got a VL rb30 bottom hose which is sweet engine end but with my V mount radiator under the nose cone I need to make an additional turn

Using the existing mounts it would stick up

So also had to cut and reweld some lower mounts. Now it fits inside the nose cone again
