yes mate,the head gasket went on the last owner so he got paranoid and fitted a 2l rad which obvioulsy wont fit.But a trip to the scrappy today got me a new bumper and smaller rad which will be fitted this weekend.

Right bit of un update.The new bumper and radiator have been fitted making the front look better and the carpets and rear seats have been fitted.The two front arches still need to be changed for some black ones when I get a minute this week.
