WRX/Porsche Karmann cabrio 1303

I had just about finished both bumper mount panel repairs but then my powerfile sander belt broke and threw a piece of metal straight in the centre of my eye! I was wearing safety glasses but they obviously weren't good enough for that sort of angle.

So, last few weeks I have been in and out of the eye surgery and it still hasn't healed properly. My plan was to paint late july but will have to wait and see how my recovery goes as the last thing I need is to get crap in an unhealed eye wound!

Here are some pics of where I got to though:

Main and chargecooler radiator mocked up to finalise mounting.





small section still needs repairing on near side...



I've also decided to redo the bodywork I did a while back over the back of the radiator. Also trying to come up with a nice compact way of ducting hot air flow into the stock ventilation system in the dash. That's a stock polo matrix/blower but I may just use the matrix and the stock bug blower. I also have to cut down the headlight washer reservoir to clear the radiator.

Very slick, can't wait to see it shiny!

Having had several eye surgeries myself I wish you the best in your recovery. Depending on the surgery you had (the invasive kind) you might expect early onset cataracts.

Regarding the car, I like how you mounted the radiators. They look like a tight fit, what car were they sourced from?
