GDI 3-Core Radiator Installation

This radiator installation job went fairly easy. Took me about 2 hours taking my time. Instead of getting a stock 2-core replacement for my XJ, I picked up a GDI 3-core radiator from radiator.com for $160 shipped to my door. It requires no major modifications (except for the bracket that connects the radiator to the condenser, if equipped.) I also plugged up the auto transmission cooler line plugs with silicone, as my XJ is a 5 speed. The following pictures were taken during my installation project, check out how SHOT the old radiator was! I'm surprised she didn't leave me stranded...
