This is the center tunnel from the donor car, turned upside down.

This is what our firewall looked like. We were surprised to find out that all the metal was still there. We just had to bend it back into shape from the inside of the tunnel. Our original plan was to replace a piece of the firewall from the donor along with using the the tube from the donor as well. It turned out to be easier to put the original tube back into the tunnel and fix the firewall.
