Replaced the fuel pump and radiator today

[tig1]

My fuel pump had been acting up lately and the radiator had a slight drip on my 2007 Ford Fusion, so I replaced both today. Both were original. The car will be 19 years old next month with 340K miles.

Well done!
What condition is the rest of the body & chassis in?
The absolute longest I've ever been able to keep a daily driver is 18 years/340K miles but it was work.
The car was a 1988 Honda Accord LX w/2.0L/2bbl carburetor. The flip-up headlight 3g Accord 4 dr. sedan.

I replaced the fuel pump, radiator, gas tank, alternator, carb choke & rusty P/S & drum brake lines.
Only once did I replaced the shocks/struts/springs, tie rods/ball joints.
Brakes & Exhaust parts & tune-up parts as needed. And one cam/valve cover gasket.
Original engine, transmission, carb, wheel bearings, head & IM gaskets.
Although I was able to keep the body in decent shape(from 20ft away), the chassis was rotted and unsafe do drive.

2.3 or 3.0? That’s some impressive miles.

How often did you change the Coolant?
Your car specs G-05 Coolant?
Did you always use G-05 Coolant, or did you go to a Universal Coolant?

I used the Wal Mart 50-50 coolant. Every time I change oil (10K OCI) I turkey baster the coolant bottle and top off with new coolant. I also do that with the brake master cylinder. I've never replaced that.
