    My phone, nothing special just an old Moto G4 Play, I upload to my Facebook page then right click/copy image address and pop it in the pic box here.

    Cooling system time, found that the cable tie mounts have trashed the fins in the radiator, another full day straightening them coming up.. so another trip to Bendigo to collect material to make a proper mount for everything..

    And Home, one of the biggest issues with the Lexcen was the lack of steering lock, I had to drive it very straight as it was so easy to run out of turn…

    My big PWR radiator is wider than the chassis rails so some notching is in order, there’s really nothing forward of there so I could probably get away with the notches and a reo plate on the inside…

    But just in case I add front down force I braced the rails with some 20×60 box, will go down after lunch and do some more.

    Done for the day, didn’t get as much finished as I wanted, the BMW steel is paper thin in places so I spent a lot of time patching holes..

    One step forward one sideways, need to think some more on the heat exchanger mounts, reality kicked my arse and everything will mount off the side braces I added yesterday..

    I also need to mount them all on isolator mounts so they don’t die from stray current.

    Looking good mate.  With that amount of luck you can add drifting to its capabilities!

    Not a big Fan of drifting, it’ll be nice being able to slide it when needed and have a chance of catching it though, had a snooze on the couch and woke with a way to mount the lower rad/cooler support, too late to go back down today so I’ll hit it in the morning..

    Yeah, from now till it’s finished it’s just going to be problem solving by making things fit, I have 0 hesitation now if something’s in the way it get’s cut off so that helps!

    It’s really easy though to look at an issue and be instantly overwhelmed due to the complexity, walking away and thinking about it helps a lot..

    Just be aware after a period of time the link will break, FB doesn’t assign a permanent address to each pic.  The only way I know is to use an image sharing program like Imgur etc.

    Lol, the first thing I thought of when I saw the pics was saying you obviously like that tool!!  Does a neat job though.

    It’s a bit of a packaging nightmare, I had ALL of this in the front of the Tonner when it had the Blower Engine in it so I know if can be done (including the AC Condenser)

    46c, that’s just silly, 35c here but I guess welding in the shed it was probably mid 40’s..
