Preparing for the winter project

Over the winter we plan to va-va-voom XLB a bit.  It would be lovely to be able to buy a ready re-built 998cc engine with all the bells and whistles but unfortunately our budget doesn't stretch to that, so instead we'll be putting bits together to do it ourselves (with a bit of help from some friends).

So we have a long watch list on eBay including a Sport engine and other bits and pieces, and will be talking to Malcolm Anderson about some other things.

Tonight we've won a front radiator + fan, although that is more of a long term plan.  Imps have a reputation for over-heating, though so far (touch wood) we've not had an issue; when we put a bigger engine in then the front radiator will be a good addition.
