This is a view of where I plan to cut a hole in the engine wall into the inside of the car.

This is a view of the hole I cut. It is about 4" inches diameter. You can see that this area is a double wall. When I opened it I found a mouse nest in between the wall. I do not have any idea how in the heck they got in there. There was some rust in between the walls. So I sprayed it with some Naval Jelly Rust Neutralizer. Then I coated the area with a under rubberized coating material.

This is a view of the hole from the inside of the car.

This is a view of the blower parts and the heater boxes I had made at a local sheet metal shop.

This is a view of how the heater system is going together. I got the heater core from a local junk yard out of a Honda or a Toyota.

This is another view of the heater system. As you can see I soldered on some extensions to the heater cores.

This is a view of the heater box attached in position. I sealed the box to engine wall with black silicone sealant.

This is a view of the heater box coming through to the inside of the car.

This is a view of the blower housing; attached and sealed to the heater box. Hose is attached to the original ducting.

This is a view of the blower motor; attached and sealed to blower housing.

This is a top view of the heater system without heater core installed.

This is a view of the modified back pad. Air is pulled from inside the car; heated-up and than returned to the inside of the car. When it gets too hot ; I have a valve that I can stop the flow of hot water from inside the car by way of a choke cable.

This is a view of passenger side heater all connected up and operating.

This is a view of the driver side heater all connected up and operating.
