get a new one, its not worth it with the summer being here. Your tow charges will far exceed the cost of a new radiator

once they remove that top tank, those fingers are never the same. New radiator are about $85-120. Top tank and rod out is close to $80, I'd get a new radiator and sell the old one as scrap!
