STEAM!!!!!!

[stanger]

Ok fella's. I'm driving to work yesterday and notice steam coming from under the hood. We all know what that means! :BangHead: No not a cracked intake but a busted radiator. You see this poor car has been through the ringer prior to my purchasing it and I'm trying my best to bring it back to life without losing hope. I've replaced the radiators in my BMW's before but not my stang. Is there anything that I need to watch out for or is is pretty straight forward? Drain, remove shroud, disconnect hoses and remove bracket screws then lift out of the car? I bought this car in May of this year and I knew that it had been wrecked when I bought it but I had no idea what I was getting into. The radiator is bent in the middle about 1/2" towards the engine!!!!WTF Anyway I think that it may have had this leak all along and it's just now getting cold enough to show the steam coming from under the hood. It's under the resevior tank and the radiator frame is actually broken on top and was hidden by the tank. I would like to drive back to Charleston SC and kick that dudes a**. I know that it wouldn't solve anything but it sure would make me feel better!!!LOL Thanks guys.

Radiator is a piece of cake. I've done mine several times now and it's pretty straightforward.

Good deal, that's what I was hoping. Thanks.
