Righto, that gives me some direction. The radiator that I modifed was a 1000 one. The top tanks are larger than the botttom ones, so I just nicked another top tank, had that welded onto the bottom and bam, now 3 cores fit in, but its just too wide for the slim line thermos that i had, so its the standard fan.

The mounts issue is comforting. If all i have to do is throw on some ataptor plates, then thats easy to do.

I still havent decided on what the engine will entail. Fuel infestation is a must, but not sure if forced induction is the way to go. Not even sure what sort of horsepower i should be aiming for. I want a car that looks normalish, that can take on modern cars with some success. 150bhp is a number that is floating around in my head, but i dont even know if that is acheivable without sending the motor to NASA.
What sort of figures do other have for a worked a15? and what sort of work?
