You’ll have no problem with Serck,they did some work for me years ago

Yeah Graham and the boys sorted my rad out many years ago,
Reason it's so long doing mine they are in the middle of doing the cooling and oil packs for the F1 tests ready for race season,

The old intercooler worked fine mate, just old and the fins are now falling out,
I bought it S/H 10yrs ago now?? maybe longer, but PACE no longer do intercoolers, so had work around this by finding a replacement,
And yes the credit card company are handling it all now,

Long story short,
My old PACE RS500 cosworth intercooler in the capri has finally seen better days,
And after spending a whole weekend searching and looking for a replacement RS500 intercooler with the same 45mm core thickness, (60mm seems the norm now days)
Toyosport were the only company offering ...

Belated Happy new year

A little update, after nearly 6 months of panel work and rust removal top coat has finally gone on
car will be coming home soon for me to start refit work while they concentrate on the panels left to prep and paint,
once im done the car will then go off to have the new exhaust and manifolds made ...
