I cut the right side long out of my rust bucket parts car. The first picture is of the top of the long. You're thinking OK, maybe not too bad...

That paper heater hose really doesn't add much to the strength of the car

save the heater mufflers! they're NLA and the acid dipping guys are always on the hunt for a good pair ...

Why did Porsche/VW use a paper tube for the heater duct in the first place? Why did they not simply use a continuous steel tube? Is there any reason to not use a steel tube if you were to open the longs for repairs or dipping? Just wondering... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
