Default Radiator, help!
Hey guys, my radiator is cracked and ive been driving with it like that for a while. I really need to get a new one. Do any of you know where to get a stock radiator locally? Or even an aluminum one? Any info or recommendations would help. The car in question is in my sig. Thanks for your input guys!
