Looks like it's coming along nicely! In my opinion facelift the front end to a s2 etc and keep it after all the work.

where do you find/buy a brand new radiator for 60 quid from? :yikes::yikes:

for that price I bet it lasts a week if that?

And why join two hoses on a perfomance car with a pen? surely you could afford a small bit of hose its not like its expensive stuff?

Glad to see its now with someone who will fix it up.

Ebay, Nissens radiator.

Eurocarparts do the same brand radiator for £45 inc vat I bought one couple months ago for a 90 Quattro runing aby setup. Fits fine no issues other then the core being slimmer then the original oem radiator

Any need to drag this up again?

I didn't have a piece of hose to hand, a joiner sorted the problem out, completely forgot about it and thought no more of it. And as above rads are available online for that sort of money.
