Radiator, part #1
|
|
|
| After taking a hovercraft out for some activity on Saturday
we later visited some relatives. |
| |
| While sitting at the coffee table i realized something
that i noticed when we came but couldn't make the connection right away. |
| |
| There was a abandoned Volvo 240 lying in the yard on some
concrete blocks. Volvo 240 series has a huge radiator with separate expansion
tank and hose connections just about the size of Subaru EA-71. |
| |
| I immediately rushed out to check this and was just thinking
of buying the expansion tank for the new radiator i had planned to buy.
He was interested in selling it as he had this car for it's diesel engine
and no more use for it. I saw the radiator was in good shape and asked
a price for the tank and radiator. "Hmmm, 20 marks if you remove it yourself!"
For those of you who don't know 20FIM translates to less than 3USD. I promised
to come back later and remove it, before Midsummer the latest (22nd of
June). He told that if he's not around just take it, no problems. |

| Later on my father-in-law and i decided to go there the
very next day and take it out. It was very quick job and i also removed
the headlights for him while i was at it. I got a chance to use the toolbox
"Mrs." gave me as birthday present. They were brand new and he had already
started to remove them for selling them, but was unsure of how they come
off. I offered him 50marks bill (~7USD), but he wouldn't accept it so i
gave him the 20FIM he asked. Right after this we went to hoverport to measure
the angle of fan bay front panel for new radiator support. |
