cracked radiator
 
there is a small crack on the OEM radiator about 2 inches long but very thin. Is there any fix for this, I'm guessing there should be, but I'm not too familiar with what I can use. Is there something like JB weld for plastics...?

Don't bother buy a metal radiator or get a good used stocker. The plastic craks and makes your car overheat with age. This happened to me. It may have cost my water pump its life. :-/

I just need a quick fix and if it lasts atleast an extra month I'll be happy.

steel putty, or some epoxy that doesn't need to be dry to cure. My friend did his 1 st gen as a temp fix, and it's been on there for like a yr now. go get it rodded out and new tanks put in.
