I have a pair of 914/6 heat exchangers, but the header pipes on one side (I believe it is the passenger side) are thin and rusted through in several spots. The sheet metal is in good shape, and the other side is useable. Given that these original parts are now essentially unobtainium, I'm wondering if repair is possible. Anyone have any thoughts or experience on this?

The real question is how much are they worth to you. Me and my guys are capable, but it's the type of job that doesn't have a budget. Maybe $500, maybe $2000. And it's the sort of job where it's probably easier to reproduce them completely, which I'm definitely interested in since you're not the only one who wants these things.
