New shiny is shiny, your old ones will be for sale then...? 
Got there first.
Those pipes going under the rad bar look exposed as anything, good luck if that's a daily lol. Also, if the stat opens at 83, how come all the 6's run at 90? I know the HDi stat opens at 83, you sure you're not getting confused with that?

"Coolant" is simply there to lower the freezing point and also as a corrosion inhibitor. Ethylene Glycol/Triethylene Glycol for example has a specific heat capacity of one half of water! That means it can carry half as much thermal energy given the same temperature rise as Water alone can.
Ethylene Glycol *does* increase the boiling point, but it's rarely needed since the pressurized cooling system does a nice job of raising the boiling point too!
The main point is that putting Anti-freeze in will not improve your cooling system, it's merely there to inhibit corrosion, harvesting of bacteria, and drop the freezing point.
