the brake master cylinder,you can get seal kits for and the radiator take it off and get it re conditioned

[stranter]

Yes, you can usually get the radiator re-cored. I used this option on my Mk2. I did however note that the radiator was very similar to that found on M10 engined BMWs, specifically:

E21 316/318
E28 518/518i 1982-1987
E30 316/318/318i 1981-1988

I didn't actually get one but it was roughly the same size and the input/output points looked nearly identical. You can get them from http://www.gsfcarparts.com or http://www.eurocarparts.com and they're under £80 quid. No idea if it'll work, but from a dimensions point of view, it looks alright.
