Well... it'll have the same motor, but without all the Alpina bits. Personally I would have gone with the 3.5L motor. Still a nice build and can't wait for the picks.

Put da radiator in front of grille no cutting required problem solved celebrate by spinning :rollsmile:

Or if you want to do it properly, you can try source a real 333 radiator or even have one made up to fit under the cradle where the AC condenser was previously mounted.

Speak to a company like Silverton Radiators, they would be able to assist with getting the exact size you require.:thumbs:

Managed to get silverton radiators to make up a radiator for me had to use e36 core and the e28 528i tanks

I dont know but i can tell you alot of modifications.would be a nice build though.the biggest problem is to fitt the radiator.the space is tight thats why i cut the front of mine.
