good question.

but if you cut out a floor pan out of one and weld it in another it would be known as ringing
and you will just get loads of shit over it,


put pics up lets have alook

just to clear up confusion lads, i had a black mk3 xr3i that was clean and i put a full rs turbo kit on it but it was a 3i not a genuine turbo so i stripped it and wanted to convert it to 4x4 but my mate nick at spec one said yb engine it and i couldnt get a engine cheap enough, so i went and bough a genuine s1 off simon in dudley for £200 it was rusted pretty badly so i stipped it for spares. untill i landed another genuine s1 and focused on restoring this one first but the thing is i have so many shell rusting away in my work place that i thought of getting rid of them if i dont do projects on them any other questions are welcome guys

does any one know who can make copper radiators for rs turbos by any chance? and if they are better at heat dissipation than normal rads? if you do please let us know, there a ccore company called graysons that might make me a one off but it wont be cheap!
