Radiators are pretty easy to install yourself. I wouldnt try patching one though your much better off buying a new one or atleast getting one from the junk yard.

first off... how the hell did you "break" the radiator? Sounds kinda hard to do. If you broke it in half, then throw it away. If there is a hole in one of the little pipes the you can fill it with epoxy ( made for metals, and high temps) and that will seal it up for the most part. I did this 2 months ago when my fan slid off the bracket and cut 2 nice little holes in my radiator, which was brand new by the way, which i got off ebay for a pretty good price, I think $50-60. In store radiator will be $115. pretty easy to install.
