L Series Radiator Upgrade

I want to use a factory made radiator so that if i ever need to replace it, its as simple as hopping on ebay and buying a new one.

Brand new WRX radiators can be had for $250, and there are Chinese aluminium radiators for less than $200, but im a little sceptical of the quality

I bought a piece of angle iron the other day so im just waiting for my radiator to show up, then i can continue fabricating

I got myself a GX radiator to see how it fits

Now i just have to drill 2 holes in the angle iron i got to brace for the 2 lugs on the bottom, and work out how im gonna support the top and i can weld the lower radiator support back in

You can probably see the liberty front hub and shaft the the 2nd picture, i got one installed, but it started to rain, so i still have to do one front hub and the 2 rears.

Its slowly moving along

GX Liberty/Legacy

I should have said non turbo Liberty.

I just have to weld the angle iron in place and then tack the end bits together and maybe a piece over the top so it look all neat and factory.

Hopefully that will happen tomorrow
