Had To Replace Thermo

[getz stuffed]

So,

Swapped this car for a mint 34 GTT, believing that it was a fair swap. This 33 makes 300kw+ to the rear, I have since discovered that it was not a good idea. I accepted it needed a full respray when I first saw it, however, I had a brief look in the engine bay and found the ac thermo sitting loose due to broken brackets, (there is half a dozen other bits that need to be fixed too) Found another fan from the wreckers in good condition, went home to swap it over, cooler had to come off to get thermo out, pulled off the plumbing and found this.

.

Now this is leading into the plenum This car has spent the last 12 or so months living at the gold coast, this would have to be the main contributor? Personally I would run stainless at a minimum on the intake side of things, dump pipes and exhaust can use a mild steel for all i care but in the engine bay? I honestly believed the pipes would have been treated for rust. Geez, I feel like an idiot.

Anyway All parts of the plumbing that are made from pieces of rubbish are to de duplicated in stainless.

Will post some picks in the new year when she is in good order.

p.s this car came from another SAU member.
