Yep, it was fun doing it.... had to cut some of the sheetmetal too... plus I
got rid of the power steering pump when swapped to manual steering rack.

The cooler became part of the grill and since it was black from few feet

I know Martin Pajak was able to shoehorn a stock MC
intercooler into a CGT. You might want to contact him
