Can this be repaired (radiator hole)
After smashing a finger with a 3lb hammer I was feel a bit clumsy.. well I knocked a very small hole in my radiator... I've already got a Koyo on the way but I was wondering if this could even be repair.. If so I'd like to try to sell it or keep it for a backup.
Here is another shot of how much room I had to work with.. still can't believe I made the mistake... but the car will probably benefit from the upgraded radiator and all the TLC.
(kinda blurry)

^^ +1 JB weld is the way to go. I have been using that stuff on all my old sh*t boxes that I had when I was younger. Just follow the instructions to the T and it will work fine.

Anyone know if this thing could be sold for cheap? I'm sure a good radiator shop could make it just like new...
I hate to throw it away if someone could use it.. and I could make a couple bucks.
