62 Lancer got a new radiator...cooling problem fixed
Ive been battling a cooling issue since I put the car on the road. It would get warmer than I liked and if I had to sit in traffic I would have to pull over due to getting to hot. After changing thermostat and water pump to no avail I decided if was the radiator partially plugged. No radiator shops that rod out radiators near me so I had a radiator for an old project just laying around so I decided it was good enough so I used it. Had to do a little fab work to the car and radiator but it fits and fixed the issue. Had to move the outlet down and point it out and weld mounting brackets on the radiator. On the car I had to cut the core support slightly the give enough room for the fan. Now me and the wifey are ready for Cruising The Coast next month. Don't judge my welds too harshly, Im a lab tech not a welder...lol...
By the way my wife hated the car at first and now its her car...haha
