If you look your local Thompson or local paper etc you should find a local radiator company that will recore your unit for less probably , if possible try and get them to fit a larger core ( 1 row extra ) as this will help cooling.

Also this may help,

Take all the "plastics" off , air intake ,air filter box , battery , ands the battery tray , all this to get to the 6mm nuts that are facing upwards ( 10mm spanner size )

Then after disconnecting the hoses remove the anti roll bar and lower rad support brackets then slide down and out towards the crossmember .

Not a quick job but l hope this helps,



All the best Clive
