Unfortunately not...
Took it back to the shop that built it.
It’s been sitting under it cover in the garage since May, and, 2 weeks ago (it's time to get it out for the winter... LOL!) I noticed coolant leaking from underneath it.
The frigging radiator sprung a leak while it was just sitting!
Anyways, changing a radiator is pretty easy, but… I have a MK8 electric fan on it with custom sheet metal shroud, and the wiring from the multi speed fan controller looked scary… Wiring and I do not get along. Called the shop, they were able to work me in and lend their trailer (they are an hour away) so off it went.
The frustrating bit is, that its a brand new Ron Davis circle track radiator... well, guess it's 3 years old, but hasn't seen 2500 miles yet. I figured it would be plenty robust. My last Ron Davis lasted 15 years before I cracked the block, and pressurized the cooling system so hard it expanded the rad.

Fall settling into New England. A little cool, but great cruising weather. However, Still waiting on my plates, so backed out of the garage to listen to it idle.
Trying an 03-04 Mach 1 shift knob out.

Just got her back on the ground yesterday. I swapped out my 99' IRS cross brace for a Terminator style brace and it feels a lot better.
Took the car to orchard beach in the Bronx yesterday . 45 miles each way without the detours I took here and there . Beautiful weather . Was an awesome ride . Some nice stuff at the show . Old Toyota and Mazda stuff to mint fox stuff and anything in between .

I heard about that show, but there were a bunch of other shows going on on LI. Maybe next year. Are you still selling those rims when you go 5 lug?
