So seems its a straight fit. Just have to see which one is in better condition. I recon my original one is better

Anyone have a clue if I can use the smaller radiator with turbo? Seems they were both available for turbo cars - but the donor car has the bigger rad.

Me thinks that the extra capacity is welcome (especially when the turbo engine will be tuned)

Here is the shed

The car is quite nightmare with the electrics. The previous owner was clearly an electrician

And the equalizer

Looks little bit shitty. Is the engine in good condition???

It seems to pull ok, engine was a bit oily on the front but no visible leaks and all fluids seemed to stay in. No smoke coming from exhaust on the accelerations. The suspension was pretty messed up compared to my 480.

Nice EQ

But isnÃ‚Â´t that a EQ-6117 ?

EQ-611 comes with an extra inst.frame
