As some will have seen from Facebook, it's been a busy day:
Old rad and fans out, told you they were bad.
Thankfully no real rust in the front panel where the rad mounts, it's had a rub down and a coat of paint to clean it up.
Also sorted out the bumper bar, I saw this was a bit crusty not long after I got the car in 2012 when I changed a sidelight bulb. I picked up one from JPP from an imported V3/4 STI, thought it was about time I fitted it, hadn't realised how different they were.
Was about to get the grinder out but thought I'd do a trial fit before I painted it and the bumper fits over it fine, so bolted in place, one less job to do.

Next job for tomorrow is cam belt whilst there's plenty of room and then put it all back together again.
