to change the Radiator
Up on the workbench
I should have taped the bumper to prevent scratching
the paint when removing it.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just a tiny scratch...but, a scratch,
nonetheless
Two bolts were missing, and three snapped off.
It did come off without too much trouble though.
No rust, or rot at all - I was glad of that..
No obvious radiator leaks but some hints of future ones
Someone painted the under-bonnet area black.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the same as the body
color
Original Radiator, for sure.
Radiator removed
While I'm here, might as well change the water pump
Maybe a little power wash too.
Power washed everything. Seems it was preserved through
the years by heavy grease
