Local shops here couldnt fix the radiator on the 88 vert, the one I sold.



Something about how the tanks were a little different on those and they couldnt be fixed.



They can fix plastic tank radiators, just had no luck with mine.

I got a lifetime guranteed metal replacement radiator for $135.



There is no need to put anything more then a stock radiator in these

cars.

those thick radiators actually hinder air flow at higher speeds, especially when you still have A/C.
