just shelled out $250 on a new alloy radiator FOR A HR that i had to cut the sides down to fit :roll: and then drill holes in the correct position :roll: to find out it's to thick :x will not go in at all with the fan on the motor :roll: and with the fan off (don't know what i'm sposed to use :roll: ) it misses the end of the water pump by just millimeteres :roll: i have an idea on what i can do but i need to find someone that can weld alloy, but i shouldn't have to be doing any of this :x

thanks for the offer :thumbsup:

that is what is keeping me sain i have a very patched up one in it now (i've let the car idle for a while with no dramas but not driven it) will go for a drive today and see how it goes
worst comes to worst you and someone else have offered a radiator i'll take one of you'se up on the offer and hopefully resell this one and get some of my money back, i'de say it would be ok in a H/KTG and maybe toranas cars that have a little more fan to radiator room

radiator is ok but you have that sfinkter tightening feeling while driving expecting something to go wrong at any minute :lol:
could be a prototype i forensicly examined the bolts and am sure the chinese chrome rocker cover and side plates are factory :thumbsup: and the late model f ord split bench i think was also factory fitted :thumbsup: the cable ties holding the roof lining up were i believe a very rare option :thumbsup: also believed to be the first holden ever fitted with an aussie 4 speed from the factory :thumbsup: and all this with a genuine 27,000 miles on the speedo 8)
