new radiator needed and rust - time to call it a day?
#11
Thanks guys, good tips on the rad's/rust
re rust, have used this guy before on a largish front wing ding 6 or 7 years ago which was and is still immaculate so not sure its all down to him.
The rust doesn't bother me as such, more the chasing it around and i am not really into car diy! so in reality i'll offload the car sooner rather than later
thanks all

Question is, another S2K or now for something completely different?
It's only, that I took mine for an autumn drive and remembered why I like it so much.

This may sound harsh, but if you are quibbling about paying out for a rad and some rust correction, possibly you need to let the car go to an enthusiast who will pay the money to keep the car up to OEM spec and keep it whilst it attains classic status, if you can't afford or justify the expense possibly it's time to let go.

for sure an enthusiast wouldn't keep it on the street outside.....which in itself would cure the rust problem. though he'd need to be a real enthusiast to take on the underside.....

I think its about timing but outside storage is the enemy of old metal. These cars are not well protected underneath
i'm going to build another garage for my SC car. I need to underseal it, did my other and its still in great shape
