If it's like my garage, when you get heavy snow and wind the snow will start sneaking in on the edges of the doors.

yes i did close the door but the wind blew the snow in under the door and thru the soffets we dont keep the cars in the garage so the door hasnt been open sense the last time i had the scoots out
heck getting the snow blower out of the garage was the fist time i opened the door in a while the wind was so bad in the blizzard the the drift in the driveway was a high as the hood on my explorer and one part was as high as the roof of the explorer

Having never lived in a snow place, I just assumed the garage kept pretty snow free by just shutting the door. Sounds like a time for some weather stripping.

when you get 22 inches of snow and you have 30 mph winds snow gets just about every where the first thing i need is a new garage door opener to help hold the door down but again with the way the winds were (the fact that i had snow in the sofets too) nothing would have helped during that storm under normal condtions i dont get snow in the garage but that was a nasty storm it warmed up a bit today so maybe the snow in the garage will be gone soon without turning the heater on

Looks good. Do you think having the radiator so close to the tire may cause debris to be thrown into it? That fender really does nothing to help protect the radiator from rocks that those meaty tires could pick up.

im going to put a screen in front of the rad like we used to do when i raced dirt tracks heck we even got some funny looks with the screen infront on paved tracks but when they saw the amount of crap it kept out of the rad some guys started running screns on paved too
but wouldnt you know as soon as you put your project on your lift apointments to wrok on other peoples scoots start rolling in
so i may be asking a few more questions about scoots im not very familure with as non of the shops in town are working on off brands and very few if any are doing mods

this is how the water pump hooks up to where the fan was with these fancy little bolts and this is the back of the pump and this is the bolts on the scoot this is the head where the thermostat goes i need to make the part to hold the tstat in place here is the lc cylinder in place to finish mock up i need to run the hoses so i can make the brackets for the hoses and the rad

Very cool. Thanks for the detailed pics. I've never got to mess with a WC kit, so that cleared up anything I wasn't sure of.
