RADIATOR FAN UPGRADE

I was having some overheating problems....not on idle, but on long fast runs. 

When I previously did the electric fan conversion, due to space issues with the e-fan, I was lazy and installed the e-fan in front of the rad instead of behind it. 

I think the e-fan shroud was blocking air flow causing the temperature to climb. 

So, I picked up a 2005 KIA Spectra radiator fan and installed it. This e-fan/shroud combo fits millimeter-perfect between the SJ410 radiator top and bottom tanks. I had to space out the rad a little for it to fit as it's tight. It also immediately popped the old fan's fuse, so I know it's drawing more air. And it's super quiet too.

Also, installed the new-to-me door straps and replaced a busted up passengers door mirror.
