Nice work Shane, she'll look quite striking in Portland Stone. Interesting chassis extension, they've used the entire rear section off another chassis.

$2000 to sort that out??? That's about 1,500 in real money (UK) bit steep that my friend. I would shop around. I've had bigger rads rebuilt on CAT 320s for less and they are 6 core! No back yard repairers near you? Send it to bloody India n would still be cheaper!!!! Lol

Default Radiator

Hi Shane - I have a radiator that was restored by Balhannah Radiators. $900 and it is yours.
