I had a Corolla. A mid ‘80s model. Lasted me for years until the radiator went.
Took it to my local mechanic who said: “That fucker’s fucking fucked!”
In the face of such deep technical knowledge (and the fact that the work would have cost more than the car was worth at that point), I reluctantly let it go to scrap.
How sad, radiators are super easy to replace
Now you tell me! Where were you back then?
I mean if the mechanic said it like that the radiator might have gone hard enough to cause severe overheat problems. Blown head gasket, cracked cylinder, something like that maybe.
