I left Atlanta for Denver in 1983 after spending many years all around the Big City. I drove thru in 2005 and was amazed at the growth. I used to Co-op with Ga Tech and Lockheed in a secret lab doing reverse engineering on captured Soviet cold war era equipment.

I plan on a visit in October and moving down to the country to find a good fishing site and a little place in the woods or something.

If you like your Rover and want to keep it a long time, I suggest you embrace working on it. It's like a Zen thing. It can be very rewarding, and the only way I can afford to keep mine!

And you are just getting your toes slightly wet, but come on in, the water is fine ... until you hit that big dropoff.........

 

If it is original radiator, it ain't plastic and aluminum. But have them look at it and go from there.


Best of luck with it....

Do not overlook hoses, thermostat, and have them do a general chek of total cooling system to save yourself future issues. Do it right one time if possible!@

 

I know where Castleberry hill is.
Anyway, if your radiator has the AC information tags stuck to the top, and maybe a I couple of others I can't remember, it's very likely the original radiator, which is brass and copper and can be rodded or recored, as needed.
