    No idea if it had coolant or just water. The water in the rad looked like the murry ie: Brown.

    And yes I changed the oil and filter. Im taking it in to get the cooling system checked. Most likely need a new rad a water pump

    Woot!
    Dad is back from QLD so is now helping me with the car. Fixed the overheating issue and played with some wires and now the fan works.
    No need for any new parts, although its running without a thermostat, so will need a new one some time soonish.

    It goes pretty good.... although its not THAT fast... will def get a new engine for it at some stage.
