Use duct tape like a professional

Has to be the good stuff... Gorilla Tape. That stuff sticks to anything included but not limited to pulling arm hairs off it you stick it to yourself. Been there and did that before. Told the wife to try it on her legs, she passed.

Anyone buying a 280,000 mile car, wont turn their nose up at a bit of epoxy

Except looking to buy if you see epoxy you wonder how much duct tape & bailing twine is holding the car together. If sold cheap like $1,900...it wouldn't matter.

Go with the Camo tape and attract premium rednecks to your vehicle!

I'd modify that to change the baling twine to Galvanized Electric Fence Wire.

Yeah when I was a kid everything was fixed with recycled electric fence wire and my dad carried a pair of pliers with him everywhere. Now it's zip ties and duct tape.

Kelly Blue book fair condition ($2K) vs good ($2.5K), fair needs mechanical work. It's a no-brainer...replace radiator if you're going to sell and it's a selling point. Most likely buyer would be a kid's first car.View attachment 835982

Patch it and leave the cap loose

Rock Auto has a slew of radiators for the car $64 to $112. Although it's an as is sale I'd sleep better knowing it had a new radiator, especially since a poor person or kid will be buying it...my 2c.

I once had an old dodge RV with an exhaust manifold that cracked around the middle. Jbweld would hold it together for a couple of years before I'd have to add some more.
