Re: Yikes! Looks Like I'll Be Needing A New Radiator
When I replaced mine with a nice aftermarket, mine was worse than that. I'd hate to see what on some of the rattier stuff out there these days.

Re: Yikes! Looks Like I'll Be Needing A New Radiator
The neck for the upper hose on mine got so deteriorated that it finally snapped off on the way to the Mitsu owners day. It sucked trying to limp it home i tried to jb weld it back on so that i could make it home, but it snapped again on the way home so i pulled into a gas station, called like 5 radiator shops and finally one had it in stock so i had them deliver it to the gas station and i replaced it in the parking lot. Now the one i have is all metal so it wont be breaking like the Plastic mitsu one.

Re: Yikes! Looks Like I'll Be Needing A New Radiator
Its not that bad, my old radiator had literally no fins left on the bottom and it was fine until it popped way later. I got a new one from the bumper to bumper wear house off of 280 on Karasota for $140

No fins on the bottom few inches of mine. It's ugly, but plenty functional.

Whoa. The picture is almost life size! haha.
I wonder how mine will look like once I take it out. I havent taken it out yet since I've had the car (about 4yrs or so).

Sorry. Every other site I upload pictures to auto adjusts the size. Figured this one would too. Size reduced.
