So I guess all the rumors about Maaco are true? Will you be doing business with them again in the future?

QUOTE (Special_Edy @ Sep 10, 2012 - 1:06 PM)  Today, my radiator repair held together on the highway, lets see how many miles it lasts. 1/2 a tube of plastic cement or epoxy resin, and a 1"x5" piece of screen from my window.  Thinking doing something similar myself, except use some fiberglass and resin. I really don't want to buy a radiator and install it... -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

radiator is easy, try switching the steering column location....
My point is, re gasketing a motor when you get it, maybe not necessary. Patching a radiator is just asking for trouble unless you need to just make it home from some stranded place on the road. 150$ and about an hour of work and a brand new rad is in the hole. --------------------  |
