on the way to the stoke meet yeasterday...

the car was really over heating, near enoughb 100 degree's all the way there.. this never happened before i changed to the type type bumpers, and v-grill, was alway's below 1/4 on the gauge...

so on the way home it was getting hot, over half way, so pull over at a services and ripped the grill out, and it dropped right down after that to 1/4...

after looking at grill, it has cover over nearly all the grill..






out comes the soldering iron, to melt the plastic weld's off




jobs a good'un



now air can pass right though




so hopefully wont have any more problems now
