Originality

frankenstang

Hi all,

I haven't been on in a while because life has been crazy the past few months, but I am hoping to get feedback about maintaining the originality of my '93. The radiator has developed a leak that I'm told can be repaired, but the cost to do so is nearly the same to have a new aluminum radiator installed. Any thoughts about whether putting in a new radiator will negatively impact the value of the car?

Thanks much,
Frankenstang

Have the ORIGINAL repaired.

Fix it... Your car is so low mile you want to retain that radiator...

Thanks for the feedback, kechme93 and twocarnuts - I appreciate it. It turns out that the guy who tried to sell me and install a new radiator was only interested in making a sale. He got upset when I told him I am planning to have my original radiator fixed.

I believe that is the right decision

I had this same problem few weeks ago only the radiator shop said it was un repairable. So I had to go with a replacement. I still have the original any ideas or know where I can get an OEM?

frankenstang,

I just went through the same thing this spring. See my post here:

Mine was also unrepairable (full of corrosion). I could get an OEM style one but it was really expensive. In the end I got the copper brass one from Mustangs Unlimited. It looks and works great.

Thanks for all of the good advice - I'm going to look into fixing the leak and keeping my original radiator. To the person who asked about getting an OEM radiator, from what I've heard, Mustangs Unlimited might be a good place to start.

Thanks again...
