Great project!

A Euro Series 1 SEC with the full AMG body kit and it's a great color.

The radiator should clean right up with a good flushing with some mildt detergent. Take it to a radator shop and have them do it for you. It'll take them all of 10 minutes to get it clean.

I'm not sure about the best procedure to clean out the heater core.

While you have the engine out, and you have access to the heater core the in- and outlets, you can set up a simple flushing system with your garden hose.

Or you can waint until the new engine is back in and flush the system (with the heater on max temp and defrost).

It has a brand new radiator with the MB depo tags still on it--this one had some overheating issues me thinks and someone started throwing only some of the parts needed at it before the heads popped!
