    My banged up oil cooler

    So while I'm replacing my aux fan, noticed that the poor oil cooler has seen better days. Granted some people run without them- so rather than replacing this- my question is- if its not leaking...it's good right?



    Thanks

    Should be fine if it's not leaking.
    The first car I ever rode in was an e30

              Ol' girl is a trooper. Two PO's ago it was involved with an accident- I think that this took the grunt of it.

              As far as damage goes, over the years I've owned it- there really isn't anything out of the norm that is bent or broken other than this oil cooler. The one thing that has gotten my attention though is the color under the front bumper- it looks like bronzit. Is this normal for a zinno car?



              I think I'm going to find one in the classifieds and replace it before it leaks. Thanks.

                        Yeah I was aware of the respray, there are a few bits that were oversprayed and the paint was in A+ condition when I bought it. It's always been a zinno however. Curious if the frontend was replaced with a donor, I guess it was!

                        Well at least everything else is straight!

                        Thanks!
