New Car - New problem

2 Days ago I flew to ft Lauderdale from North Carolina to pick up a 91 turbo. The car is a dream. Its my first 2nd gen so imagine how excited i was...
well the drive back was about 16 hrs. crossing the whole dam coast.
Somewhere by daytona beach, the car decides to blow up the radiator hose (upper) and screw me up in the middle of nowhere at 9:31pm where no auto shops are open. tried duckt-taping...didnt work. had to spend the night there and get the part the day after. well i would have thought it was fixed... the car super duper overheats quick (suprinsingly on ly when i stoped for gas - not in the highway)
so I ask the pros and experienced ones... im guessing the Radiator is a gonner - i milked the car on water all the way back home (when i say a lot of water i mean A LOT)
i was scared to blow off the engine so i kept the water recicling - it has the tendency to overheat and start steaming like crazy

should i swith the whole cooling system?
and an extra hand.. where can i get a GOOD radiator for a 91?
thanks guys. if everything is fixed by the weekend, ill post some pics. I dunno but im quite excted to have an FC
