Took the radiator out of the parts car and it looks very good. The tranny coolant line fittings also seem sound. The liquid in the engine the PO used for coolant looked very bad and the pump had some weird build up inside. I'm wondering if the radiator might be worth saving. Perhaps a professional cleaning or maybe just not worth it? Opinions?

If it's a plastic radiator, they look perfectly fine right up to the day they blow the neck off, resulting in a catastrophic loss of coolant. I'd say if it's more than 10 years old donate it to the recycle bin.

Now if I could just take that same approach with some of the junk laying around MY garage.
