[Vwdiesel] Need to find a good radiator for '81 rabbit.

[David Cook]

I've got a radiator out of an '84 Rabbit leftover from
my diesel Cabriolet conversion.  I can't make any
guarantees other than it seemed to work fine while I
was driving the '84 around.  (most of this summer.)

Let me know if you'd be interested.

$25 + shipping sound reasonable?
