MGLR didn’t you already have doghouse cooling?  (I am having some difficulty finding old posts due to my advancing years.)  If you did not, then you need to get a larger fan and an offset bracket for the oil cooler. 

On the Forum home page,

Where or how do you access that?

I picked up a dog house housing for my current rebuild.  I feel it is much better than the old one that was on there.

TO: MGLondon, sure   you can come by sometime I am free most days. You better be carefull with an 1800cc VW! I had a ’63 VW when I was in Germany and it was fast with only 1200cc.

Not a Duchess, but a MiGi.  Mine is 5 1/4″ to the wheel spokes. 

The front end on my FiberFab is a Chevette and I was told that the shop could not do an alignment.  I haven’t taken it anywhere else yet, but that was disappointing news.

Welcome. I’m also in central AZ, living in Phoenix, so we aren’t too far apart.  My VW engine is coming together nicely, but still not mounted into the vehicle yet. I’m down your way often, or almost that far south, so if you’re open to visitors, I can stop by to see your treasure toy.

BeBop,  welcome to the gang.  Please post some pictures, detailed shots if possible so we can see the differences between our cars.   First I’ve heard of Rich industries

Frankie,   I’m sure I speak for most of us when I say many thanks for your hard work

Frank -thanks for working on the Gallery ..having CRS   its nice to peruse the gallery of everyone’s Photo’s
