What your front end looks like taken apart

Popped a little snow bank pulling into work a week or two ago. Got out and looked at the car, no damage. Pulled into the parking lot and the damn radiator was just flooding fluid everywhere. Been waiting on warm weather, it's like 50 degrees today. So i took the front end apart and pulled the radiator. Here's some pics.






60 dollar fix, it sucks, but **** happends. Gave me a reason to wrench on the car, so I'm not mad.

not gonna take that chance. This is the radiator, not some h/e. I don't wanna risk a 3hr drive to the 1/4 mile just to get stranded on the interstate. I'll just buy a new radiator.
