My cousin is fixing up an 81 civic wagon and is having trouble finding a radiator for it. It’s good to see the younger generation ,he’s in his early 20s, getting interested in older cars no matter what it is so I told him I would see what I could find. Has anybody done business with a company that they would recommend regarding parts for older Honda’s? Thanks in advance.

Yes that was the first thing I asked him if he tried rock auto. They found one place that said they had it in stock but then told them later it was temporarily out of stock.

I had suggested that also he is going to look into doing that but I think he is also thinking how moving forward he will need more parts from time to time. I was very surprised that it is difficult to find parts for that model.
I told him that it may serve him well to learn how to rebuilt parts like starters alternators etc.
