Cutting up my 84 turbo!

[vwtype53 at yahoo.com (Ben Harder)]

Dan,

  I challenge you to utilize ducting to mount the heat exchanger in a location
that does not require cutting.  ;)

Or you could always just remove all that weight up front and ditch the A/C! 
That would give you some extra room up front...  hehe

Good luck.

Ben
