By experience i can tell you it is pointless to try any half-measures on a cooling system problem like this. Maybe you can find a good replacement radiator at the junk yard, that's where i'd look first.

^ I have to agree it's pointless. I would go with the cheapest new radiator that I could find. A radiator from a salvage yard may be just as bad as the one on your car. Try an online vendor or ebay.
