 The fan is a 2 speed unit from a 86 Golf GTI. I wired the low speed side through a relay to come on when the ingition is energized. The high speed side is wired through the stock Rabbit thermo-fan switch, that comes on at 190F. With this set-up, The temps run about 185-195F all the time.

Remember the sheet metal I cut out? I flipped it over and added some sides to it to enclose radiator area.

This is the adapter I used, It's a Esslinger Engineering E2111K-2.3 kit that I picked up at a swapmeet a few years ago for great price.
