    Just a small update or me just bragging alittle hahaha, Some may already know i took my GLD out to vw warwick last weekend (there is a post in events section) and won the watercooled class Had to work for the win wasn't easy with limited practice runs keeping it consistent wasn't as easy as it sounds.

    Added crystal clear headlights and crystal cabby rear lights which i haven't got a pic of just yet. here is a picture for recent Vw Action day car show.




    And the trophy

                  Also had a play with some aluminum end caps for the cooler, i thought the cooler looked to plain and cheap (which it is). Bent up some aluminum and polished them up they are 100% removable just there for cosmetic purposes
                  where did you get that kit from?

                    Ive brought 2 of these kits over the last year for my mk1s, both off of ebay always best to do a little searching first sometimes its cheaper from USA even with a high postage cost.

                    16 ROW UNIVERSAL OIL COOLER KIT R32 S13 14 CIVIC 300ZX (eBay item 250699132908 end time 18-Nov-10 15:42:24 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

                        That kit in the link i posted comes with the correct fittings for a direct bolt on , the only extra i brought was a thread sealant being a cheap kit i was worried about it leaking. I haven't had a leak yet the old diesel puts out some vibrations so its a good test.
