80 Mirada,

Made some brackets to attach the hoses, and finished the hard lines

The new rotors and pads are on. Unfortunately the front calipers have to come off, they are locked up after sitting for 8 years

 

[80mirada]

Got new calipers, and the left one was the wrong part. Exchanged it today and got it painted. Pics to follow

Really enjoying this tread and your progress. Always thought the Mirada was a fine looking car. Great work.

The Charger fans would have fit perfect had I order a radiator with an 18 inch core rather than 17 inch.

I'll bet it would have worked if it wasn't for those meddling kids.

Looks like it'll be fine when you get the bracket built though. Or is it built? Can't tell if that's cardboard as a pattern or aluminum.

 

[80mirada]

the brackets are made, I had to mount the fans at an angle to clear the hose nipples

It looks like the fan assembly needed to have the Left/Right fans reversed (high/low) for it to fit better.

Do you have pictures of your final brackets – or is it too early for that?

This is on an 18” radiator?

The ’06 LX’s came with four different radiators, but all used the same cooling fan assembly (module) - 5174358AA
