ya, the rad needs a fresh coat of black, there is a huge hole in the drivers side floor board, the breaks barely work, and the top end needs an adjustment bad. so those are all on my list of to do's before my dad gets to DD it

This is what came out of my dads rad, ya that's right it's brown, and thick, and nasty, and if i EVER hear of some one putting stop leak in their cooling systems I'm personally gunna apply powder and slap the shit out of em. The rad is shot but not due to the "additives", and the system needs flushed........

my 620 had that same issue, only it was WAY worse. I just used a temp patch and patched it. Measured best I could, cut up a 720 door, bent and tacked it into place. Not done right, but ratsun style fix for the time being. Then at least my battery wasn't about to drop out and get ran over.

found out that the goo from the cooling system is oil in the anti freeze, yet there was no anti freeze in the oil 0_o

 

so now im gunna have to tear it down to the head gasket........... oh well, there goes a Saturday

time to tear off the head to find out where the oil is getting into the antifreeze and put a stop to it!
