So I finally got my act together and pulled my long suffering 860 out from a friends pole barn and hauled it home. It is needy but more in terms of routine maintenance than anything else. So years ago I pulled off the original radiator because it was leaking and had mineral buildup. I took it to a shop and they said it wasn't worth fixing and wanted to sell me a replacement for $350. Being younger and dumber at that time I didn't keep the old radiator as in hind site they didn't want to mess with it, just sell me a new one. So I have no core to rebuild. Looking around there are some different choices. Prices are all over then map between $150-$350.
So this isn't going to be a field work machine or something that needs to be restoration quality. I'd just like something that will hold coolant and not spring a leak in 2 years. I'd be open to original but I'm Leary of anything that I can't look into before I hand over money. So let me have it. The good, the bad, and the ugly of whats out there.
Also I'm in the Grand Rapids, MI area so if theres a good salvage yard around I could maybe check that out.
