So removed the header tank to diagnose the loss of gears
Then decided to wire the fans
Bumper off
Rad and crass bar off (notice cross members a lot better than the black deaths)
Rad is fucking shit though, so got the one off red death - part number for anyone that wants it - fits well
Lined up the fans and test fitted
Drilled a hole - painted - captive nut - bolted
Wired the fans up and and moved the temp sender - all tidied
Made a top mount
All runs as it should - pulls air well - comes on at temp
As you can see ive sprayed primer on the front panel - he had rubbed parts down - its just temp till its sprayed
Tomorrow i will fit the crash bar and bumper, alighn the bonnet, fit arches and bleed brakes
Think a mate will spray the wheels too this week (silver)
So the to do list is big:
Align bonnet - with raisers
Fit kit properly
Get new seats (gsi ones)
Bleed brakes
Paint wheels
Align backbox
New door (drivers)
Colourcode
Mot
Insurance
Tax
Register as 2.0
Timing belt - water pump - full service
Remove interior + plus sound deadenning - fix any holes and underseal full car
Wind deflectors
Pressed plate
Sort a grill
Jacking point covers
Paint brakes
Refit interior
Pikey doors closed respray
Job done - not in that order but want it all done by spring - will be doing black one in between too but this is a priority
Will never be a show car but will be decent and tidy
Ohhh and sort this
And get wind deflectors, ice, and tigra scuttle
Sounds loads but when you figure i get cheap paint its not a lot at all

Guessing you mean pushes air well? If there pull/push reversible wired fans they would have to be mounted on the other side of the rad to be pulling , I'm not being a prick just if there wired to pull and are mounted where you have them they won't have much effect lol

Lol engine seems ok
And yes pushed - we reversed polarity but that made them pull - so swapped back - tested by putting a carrier between rad and block - pushed onto block

Looks like it's solid enough, hopefully it's not hiding any nasty surprises when you pull it apart. Good to see another GSi being saved

Same as mine, think the repair panel was about £20.

Right now bare with me here - did a bit this morning
So noticed that the gsi had no bonnet stay
Not an issue as the black death doesnt need its one
This unvieled where the dings in the bonnet are from
Then was annoyed by how wonky the bonnet was (lights not bolted in obv)
Lined it up and fitted the bonnet raisers
The jacking it up got a nice surprise
Yup nice rear disc axle
Bled the breaks up - well near enough - need some more fluid (need to pop round them all again) they were BAD
Then had a look for rot
This will need welding as im sure all the rubber circles will
Its had a poorly fitted plate here - will re do it
Found this hole and had a poke (no biggy)
Right now the tricky bits
It has been jacked up incorrectly seemingly 100000 times (tom  )
Now im confident this can be pulled straight using a sliding hammer/tacking plates on - then cleaned up and re undersealed
But these will be a bit more tricky and are the only "rotten" bit i can find so far
As you can see they look not bad inside: now have some options
Try and source genuine repair panels???? Is this possible? What are they called?
Or
Cut the rot out, weld a strengthenning channel inside - then plate over the top
What do people reckon?
Im not pissed off its doable
And its done a few miles
Its getting fixed for sure - one of the cav turbos needs a new tyre but otherwise my pal is spraying them for £30

Plate it, you wont get them in any better condition on most b's
Better off fabbing something up yourself.
