Here's the old radiator - you can see that it's been damaged in multiple areas:

A new radiator shroud later (big thanks to Sitec), new fan blades, and a new Aussie Desert Cooler radiator later...
Here it is in place:

It's too early to tell if it will keep the 101 cooler - I will take it for a good run tomorrow.. My previous experience with the 101 is that the operating temperature range is between 80c -> 102c
The 15 minute test drive today (it was 32c outside) revealed temps of 80c -> 92c
I'll take the 101 for a good drive tomorrow and see how it goes...
Here it is all nice and washed ready for the car show at Picnic At Hanging Rock tomorrow...
Well it is a V8, and it is 25+ years old - so why not? :angel: :wasntme:

Looks nice and shiny. Not at all like mine, but I gave it a tub anyway (well a squirt with the hose to get the cobwebs off)
See you in the morning. :)

Picnic at Hanging Rock
So today Gav, Mick and myself headed out to the car show at Hanging Rock.
I'm not sure of how many cars there were there - but my guess would be hundreds, if not a thousand.
It's mainly old muscle cars - and some very nice ones at that... But some CLASSIC BRITISH cars managed to sneak in!!! :angel: :wasntme:
The stars of the show:

We found a nice ex-army 2a:

Yep, great day out. Despite there being 100's of shiny straight machines there, the 3 Land Rovers of ours got plenty of attention and we all spent quite some time spreading the news to interested passers by. :)

Insulation
So I decided to try and reduce some of the heat from the 101 engine bay...
It has some type of foil / fiber-glass covering the underside and carpet on the top. Here is a current picture:

Stripped off the foil & carpet:

Hours of fun later (and I do mean hours) - here is the new heat insulation installed. If I do say so myself - it's a thing of beauty..

The super-duper sound insulation installed on top (there is a foam underneath the rubber, the foam with the peaks/troughs in it):

And finally - the carpet re-installed:

I will wait 24 hours for everything to dry and then take the 101 for a test drive.. Depending on how well it works, I will look at doing the drivers/passenger foot well as well.
It's a start... Let's see how this works out.
Cheers,
GG.
