You and your boy racer moments....

It's mingin Recore or custom that is the question
Now the A/C is out the way a bigger unit is possible ................

lee, looks superficial to me, but everything looks good on my PC screen. Is it full of junk?
I think I paid about £190 last year for a re-core. All they did was to put my end tanks on a new core and spray it up in black. Done is 24 hours. I think it was only about £25 less than a new Renault radiator.

Your other option is to get it pressure tested and see if she blows. If it's ok, just re-use it.

Custom. Bin the plastic end caps.

Assuming you know a man who can for a good price.

lee, if you go for custom you might be able to have more of a top to bottom flow,space permitting, but be aware that the thermostat is on the "wrong" end.

This Custom rad cost me £350 for the V8 last year Lee(i think that inc the Spal),GT5 was tempted but there was more important things to buy. It made the V8 run much cooler and that already had a aftermarket rad fitted,

I'm of the opinion the best mods for a GTA are.......... sort the cooling ,sort the cooling and get better brakes

Lee,
Your thoughts are correct for all alpines, not just GTAs (Oh.. Check the earths as well )

Mr Biggs took his to my local chap about 6 months ago. If you insist on new tanks, he'll make them. We had a couple of plastic tank failures on DeLorean re-cores, so we just go with new tanks now.

I envisage having to drop the guts out the car more often in the future so have made some little mods to help I can now get at the gearbox linkages from the top

It's not in any order yet and there's some junk in there ..............
