alkalineJUSTYtrio Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Just got a pretty haggard '93 Justy for $200, it needs the water pump rebuilt and a new radiator. The problem I am having is finding a radiator locally (used/junkyard) for the Justy. Do any other radiators fit with little fab work (Honda/Acura/Ford, etc.)?

Eh, gives me a start. I'm looking for something that will drop in with at worst a few new mounts. So essentially whatever plumbs up and works with the water pump/engine and will fit in the stock location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVBigBlue Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 aJt, Just curious, but what exactly is wrong with the radiator? You might consider taking it to your local radiator guy. I've taken some pretty well trashed radiators in and had them repaired for less than the price of new. Plus, you be surprised at the knowledge a good rad guy has. He might be able to swap the top (or end) tanks on the core of a close fit and get you back in business. If it's not got destroyed tubes, they can usually hot tank it and rod the core to get it back in working order for a reasonable price. The last rad I had tanked and rodded ran me $85. That was for a 4 row Chevy 1 ton. And they resoldered the whole thing as well. Good luck! NV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagonsOnly Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Harry's in Hazleton, PA has three Justys on their lot right now. All radiators look to be decent. http://www.wegotused.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkalineJUSTYtrio Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 The radiator leaks, I haven't had time to check where, but it leaks. The water pump needs rebuilding too. The mechanic I bought it from hadn't looked at it really, but he said it probably needs a new radiator, so I figured I'd look. I also don't know if there is anyone who does radiator work in my little town. I'll check to see if I can't find someone who does radiator work and I'll look at that website. Thanks for the help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad deal. It even came with oil cooling lines which I am trying hard to figure out how to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It even came with oil cooling lines which I am trying hard to figure out how to use. Was the $109 shipped? If not, then not worth it IMO, but thanks. About the cooling lines, do these things already have small coolers in the lines? If so, then just bypass them and run it through the oil cooler on the radiator (what I did on my LandCruiser). I'm still hoping someone knows if any Honda or Toyota or US Domestic radiators will fit since I can junkyard those for about $15 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
