Body Patching Firewall

[aglinks]

The PO of my Jeep cut a huge hole in the firewall right behind the engine. Cut through the firewall AND the fresh air box for the heater. No idea why. I am looking for someone with a trashed tub that would be interested in cutting out a section of firewall for me to use to graft over this spot. Will pay for the steel and shipping. I just am hoping not to pay the $180 for the OMIX firewall to cutout this one section. I already attempted to bend up some scrap metal and tack it in place and it looks really bad. I’m definitely not a great fabricator lol

This is an old picture (pre-LS swap) but you can see the whole behind the distributor.

ill see what I got. but at least it makes sense now. that was probably at some point in time for the air box to get cool outside air to the motor

I am sure that's perfect! Maybe cut a bit big just in case its not exactly the same? That will give me room to massage it into place haha. How much do you want?

 

[Manic Mechanic]
