Wow that is a great looking front clip from Brad at 914 LTD. Looks way better in Scott's pictures and came with a lot of stuff too. Can't wait until Scott gets the front panel separated so we know it is as good as it looks. Of course it needs to be media blasted too.

Nice to see the new parts and the holes being filled. The front trunk pan looks terrific now.

Just need the darn NOS front fenders now.

What about a self contained box that holds a big oil cooler and 2 fans that would custom fit in the space usually taken by the spare tire. Leave the front body plugs off as well as the 2 sheet metal plugs at the bottom of the trunk. Use a GT lower valance but keep the metal bumper stock. The enclosure would be similar to a traditional front mounted cooler but the entire unit would be a drop in custom fit without actually mounting to the trunk(or cutting big holes). Just holes for the oil lines and nothing else. Thick rubber trim on the sides of the box to make it air tight. Soundproof and carpet the top. --- Just a thought.

If it works, Scotty could surely sell more.

Hi Mark-
Well my first option for the oil cooler would be the Carrera cooler with the thermostat fan in the front fender. If Scotty tell me that he can make one of those fit- it is a done deal.

If that does not fit, I may have to look at a smaller front mounted cooler in the trunk with a shroud on it. I probably do not need a cooler of the size the GT's run since my car is not going to be tracked.

I appreciate the brain-trust we have going on here. Lots of great ideas. Thanks everyone.

Have Scott talk with his friend Stephen D, we were talking about ideas for a front cooler between the bumper and body (I know, it's really tight space). He's an outside the box thinker and probably figured out a way to do it already. I planned on talking to him once my car got further along...

Hard to say. Mine was Irish Green and no flares. My other was Signal Orange with a 2.7.

I wonder if you could attach copper or aluminum tubing to the inside of the bumper in such a way as to make it into a big heat exchanger. Probably would work poorly in stop and go, but it is pretty big, and generally hollow in the back.

OK looks like NOS front fenders is a dream.

It appears I have a very nice set of replacement fenders coming which are in excellent shape. Scotty will be seeing them at Hershey and will advise me if they are as nice as we suspect. If that is the case I will be done looking for body parts (I hope) as we will have everything.

Once I know, I will post pictures and disclose the source of these very nice fenders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Rust be gone......
That channel on the replacement front end looks a bit tore-up......hopefully that is the worst of it.

Scotty is working on the car and I am looking forward to some new pictures soon.

Hopefully very soon we will see the front panel and fenders blasted. Then going on the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Excellent! So glad to see the front end getting put back together. Looking forward to seeing it straight and all welded up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) . Scotty is doing a great job and the documentation on this build will I hope assist others in the future with their cars.

Sixnotfour - Thanks for the information. Scott and I spoke about that issue before and it will be taken care of.

I went with a Mazda RX-7 cooler and added dual Spal fans with a thermo switch.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1367810048.1.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1367810049.2.jpg)



Next I opened up the front holes, plus added more.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1367810049.4.jpg)



Then I welded in an exhaust panel with a custom sheet metal shroud.

No big deal...
