Since I can't weld the broken piece until tomorrow, I'm cleaning and replacing all of the vent "foam" stripping. The biggest nuisance was scraping the old adhesive off so the new will stick.

Here are the final pics of the cleaned/reworked heater core housing with new heater core. Hopefully get the vent arm welded and start install tomorrow. I'm driving my wife's van tomorrow, but will be driving the Rusty Frog after that, hopefully with heat

My Tercel slider controls are getting stiff from age, dust and cold weather. Seeing that broken part should motivate me to try to lube those parts.
I've had my heater unit out a couple times to clean out mouse nests. Plug those cowl vent drains with screens!

Ace,
I assume the cowl vent drain must share proximity to the fresh air intake for the ventilation/heater motor? I might look at placing a screen over the fresh air intake, I would expect a mouse could get through the cowl vent if they wanted, darn slippery little suckers. This might be good to combine with my upcoming floor/subframe repair, I may have access from the rusty bottom before repairing it .
