Tour around the heart and the belly of Methusalem
Hey, amigos! Because Methusalem couldn't really handle the hills of southern Venezuela, because of overheating problems, I had to do something. I couldn't drive uphill with more than 30 - 35 km/h without overheating. My radiator didn't leak, but it was in bad shape. Because you can't find a new one here, I had to try something different. A Dutch guy in the north of our capital brought all his radiator business machines with him from Holland and started a radiator factory here. He doesn't make the usual cores, but in stead of the zigzag thing he uses straight copper plates.
Underneath you'll find a video from my engine bay and the belly of Methusalem, and a few pictures from the old and the new radiator, just for fun.
