NO RADIATOR SWAP

Blast.

I planned to swap out my radiator, as the one I have has a leak in it. I have a spare radiator in my garage, so I went out this morning to take a look at it, and it turns out that it's a fantastic radiator... but not for my car.

I can't go any further with the radiator swap at this time, but I suppose I can wire up the alternator, and start some work towards the fuel filler cap. The car has been shaved clean, and the gas fill-up tube was redirected to inside the car, such that the rear windshield can't be in place. I'm currently filling up the car through the trunk, but I also have the battery back there, which could result in an explosion if there's any spark from the battery. Yikes.
