Radiator for my '90 80

[Tony Hoffman]

I have a 4000 4-cyl FWD in the shop with a Nissens right now, it is fairly
new in the car. It has metal end caps, and seems to be well put together.
Don't know for sure about the one for the 80, though. I prefer the metal
ones, as they can be rebuilt almost indefinately. But the ones with plastic
end caps tend to last at least ten years, so they are decent as well.
