Alternative radiator setup

[DORIGTT]

Hello fellow GL'ers,

In modifying my Ghia with better performance and such without hacking it up, I ran into quite a dilemma with cooling the WBX that I'm using. Most Ghia's that get watercooled have the radiator in the spare tire well which kills it's covert status as well as eats up space.

I was checking out my neighbor's Mini cooper and noticed how compact the radiator was and got the measuring tape out. Voila! The ole' Mini cooper's radiator fits just fine.

Any comments or suggestions on making this work well? I'm going to open the backside of the nostril vents to allow more air into the soon-to-be sealed cavity that the radiator(s) (one on each side if necessary) will reside.
