so today...

[IALuder]

i got sick of
1: overheating
2:leaking antifreeze all over the place
3:extremely hot air
4:shitty idle at any stop anywhere

so i decided today was a good day to investigate.
and this is what i found:

yea a shitty radiator. has about 4 leaks in it. crusted up and wasnt holding shit. plus it was missing the second fan. AKA AC fan.

so i went to the junk yard and pick up the only radiator i could find. it was out of a 94 auto h23. so i had to custom fab the damn thing to hold the fans and mounting brakets. end result:
