I was wondering if anyone knew the best place to buy a radiator, My daily beater (95 Ford Escort) has a huge leak in hers. I was also wondering if it is worth getting one from a junk yard…or just to buy a new/refurbed one. I am buying a new (used) car within a month, but may keep this car as a winter car.

M & M probably has one. No problem with a used one just make sure it’s in good shape.

I do not know how to weld, and you are new at welding, plus I may want to keep the car for the winter, It is not worth selling.  
Best I could find on internet was new for $114 from NAPA and some sketchy ebay ones “new” for like $60.

umm… JB weld is like a glue that you apply and it dries hard as fuck. Takes no special skill. JB Weld it and forget it
