To Leon and GB hard to tell millage coffee runs O'rielys Napa hardware runs Already 10.000 on new engine only rust is running boards just the tin easy fix some day, and original bad paint but we finished roof hood and trunk and trunk is still factory black perfect as well as underneath thats about it. This car never had a heater so I put a 3 door i had but can't cut it. I have a F8 337 V8 6 volt that heater will melt ya boots off >thats the ticket. Not going to take out the water heater but make a bracket for the gas heater just next to the 3 door don't want more holes in firewall. There is no global warming in Massachusetts or maybe its my old bones..lol sam
