It's bent in between 1/8 and 1/4 inch on one side of the outside edge, not at the weld. As far as I can tell, it's not cracked, but as hard as I can clamp that new hose on, it still leaks and without taking the whole radiator out I can't tell for certain that it's not cracked. I'd thought about using some type of tool to bend it back to round, but haven't found anything yet that will do the trick. Thanks.

I've had this '83 GL hatchback since 2000, only rallied it a few hairs. Recently, I had a cooling hose go bust and had to pry the hose clamp off because it was rusted all to . After 3 trips to the local auto shop, I found a hose that fit and some new clamps, only problem was that I had bent the nozzle to the radiator getting the old hose off. Since I've already spent stupid amounts of money on this $500 dollar ride, anybody got a radiator for sale? I want to pass the torch with this soob to someone who will have more time to appreciate it and monster it the way that it was meant to be, but I can't justify selling the beast if it doesn't run. Anybody out ther that can help me with the radiator woes?

Greetings everybody. I've been browsing around here a little bit and just wanted to introduce myself. I've been smashing around in my '83 GL hatch since May 2000, breaking things and fixin' things. Owned this little beastie longer than any other vehicle and must say that I've been bitten by the bug. Currently looking for a larger specimen of the GL, a wagon from '83 to '89, something to haul my bass and speakers to gigs and do a bit more smashing around in, so anybody looking to sell one of these beasts in the greater Seattle area, let me know. Mud and bugs.
