Appropriate social distancing parking measures noted

It's a two door so I need two parks to get doors open 🤣🤣

Well fitted very last pieces of external bodywork left from original. The front valance and plastic trim that fits between radiator and grill. Not straightforward as my car has bigger radiator so not original lower steel moulding at bottom of radiator. But all in secure and looks And - the very last of exterior trim that was missing.
Now moving to engine bay for tidy up of brake lines - retaining clips etc. Plus clean up of various bits and pieces. Then - to make up center trim under dash section.

Looking good. Haven't seen asymmetrical tyres for a while!

What size radiator (L x W x D?) please, as I have an oversize Aluminium to put in for the TD5 and I'm going to have to do similar when I get to that point?

Radiator is 835 Wx 80D x400 L its Fenix 1506 for later RRC.
It has lower support pins in different location to my old radiator located about 1/3rd way in from sides whereas old radiator supports were on the sides. I know theres some comment about these radiators however it does excellent job in cooling. I have twin fans fitted from ? which one has dual speed being controlled by Hayden fan controller. I'm running 80c thermostat and temp does not move from that ever. The fans switch in/out occasionally but the dual speed fan has never needed to go to its second speed.
