BUGaru Part 7 - Radiator Fitment

Busaru.com - The cooling system is the trickiest part of most Subaru Volkswagen engine conversions and the Super Beetle is no different. I'm approaching the radiator placement from years of experience mounting engine bay and belly mount radiators in the VW Bus platform. The Super Beetle almost seems too easy as there is a perfect spot in the front spare tire location which allows for seemingly good airflow. 

Here is where I sourced my radiator: http://m.ebay.com/itm/New-Engine-Radiator-For-VW-Golf-Jetta-Cabriolet-1-6L-1-8L-1L0121253B-CU837-/142017354953?hash=item2110e4dcc9%3Ag%3ATAoAAOSwnFZXVkVk&_trkparms=pageci%253A4bbb01d7-5019-11e6-ab96-74dbd180e440%257Cparentrq%253A1306c3951560a357b514d8bfffff6acc%257Ciid%253A1

In this video I cut out a section of spare tire carrier and test fit a MK1 VW Scirocco radiator. Follow along in this video and you can also follow on Instagram @VWBusaru to catch some photos.
