Started working with the W203 Fan. After cutting off the unwanted bits, and using some aluminum strap and a metal brake, four brackets were made, and riveted on.






Next, plates were cut, and holes drilled in the lower core support, stainless nutserts installed, here's what it looked like prior to welding and general cleanup:




Weld through primer was applied to all of the bare metal. After this, the entire cooling module was assembled, and then positioned in the car. Lots of fiddling with final positioning, and once satisfied, alignment marks were made, and the whole assembly was removed.

The brackets were then welded in, and at this point, called it a night. Work will not continue until Tuesday evening.

Left to do are the upper core support brackets, wiring, plumbing of the upper radiator hose, shield for upper radiator hose, and oil cooler AN hoses have to be made. The split cooling (VRP Performance) coolant bottle will now go right behind the left side headlamp.

All this, then back to addressing transmission issues...
