What can I say - "The dergs knerb" as they say in Ashington.
Hats off to RetroPower (again!)
Sitting here on my birthday with the biggest smile on my face - Cal has just posted these up this afternoon.

Jesus, that looks a bit mean
these cars are just perfect for a BEC
Wish I'd bought one years ago
A lot of works went into that so far, looking very smart
to add to its meanness its getting a macerator to sit in the front vent above the chin spoiler, the vents will throw/vent the dogs,cats & small
items straight out over the top of the car.
bit like a snow plough...
Does he know he's put the doors on back to front though?
ivan its nice mate im glad it all went well i like it lots very retro 
looking at the vents it's probably better with two motor bike radiators rather than that car one as almost half of it is blanked off due to the vent design
That rad was one of two I specially ordered for my Ultima project. They were built to be jointly-capable of cooling a 500+bhp engine.
Ivan not sure if you know but rs500 cosworth alloy rads fit sweet in my imp and your car is much the same at the front you can get them approx £178
with twin fans
scott you posted twice lol hope your ok pal as for ivan happy birthday mate looks like a good 1 have fun
Cheers Paul....
The radiator core is rather special, cooling wont be an issue, from memory the core is around 4-5 inches thick. I havent spoken to Cal this week, but
the venting may or may not be finished yet for the rad. I have every faith it's been thought about & planned thoroughly.
The space to the right of the radiator will be for another radiator, a smaller bike one (suggestions) to plumb into the chargecooler system.

My last bikes rad a CBR125R would probably be the right size to fit next to the other one and quite cheap to buy
wow, that looks amazing

Awsome!!!!!
I like that a lot.
Just out of interest, what made you choose to make the arches angular as opposed to the sort of bubble MK1 Escort type ones?
