LITTLE UPDATE

friday morning started the car up and relised the temp went up quicker then normal so as i got out i noticed a big puddle at the front of the car

you can see the river in front of my car.
put some water in and seen it come rushing out of the radiator so off it come


reason why it was holding water

my oil cooler had been rubbing against it, leaving a big hole in it.
got a new radiator and while i was waiting for the missus to come back i'd thought i take a few snaps of our cars.



she came back and i finally could stick the new rad in


while i had the rad out aswell i put a new cts on, shes drives soo much smoother now



should have a better update next.

Those morettes have been on just a few corsas now, came off my green one, sold to a mate with a white corsa, then fitted to my old sport which now belongs to pearce.

I think it looks ace on the orange wheels, still the volvo colour does look ace from the pictures I have seen, so look forward to seeing them back
