Hey SC Community,
So I recently bought a 1995 SC400, it's not perfect but I decided to start with replacing the radiator and hoses since its corroded (and the parts are cheap) I'm fairly new to cars in general so any advice on where to start would be helpful. I plan on doing it this weekend myself instead of a mechanic because I want to save money. Thank you on any pointers or tips you have to offer
Update:
I ordered Gates Upper & Lower Hose and a Denso OEM radiator. Excited to start working on it this weekend.

Update: So I'm starting this tomorrow and I'm not sure if I should drain the engine block of the coolant and do a flush after replacing the radiator and lower and upper hose, or add new coolant. If you now or have advice, all the help is appreciated
So I took out the Upper & Lower Radiator Hose, I just need to find out the right process in unhooking the transmission oil cooler without messing up my transmission fluid. Trying to get this all finished before sundown, thank you!
