Your guesswork and rehabilitation techniques are "my education".  Thanks!

This is shaping up to look a lot like a museum exhibit!

Decided to change things up and rebuild the heater.
The core pressure tested ok but needed a new bracket soldered on.
Sandblasted the whole thing and painted it,replaced the motor with a new 6v motor, and added some mouse proofing.

Worked on the cowl today, rust had gotten behind the bracket and there was some rust holes. Cut the area out, cleaned the rust out and made up some patches. Originally it wasn't welded at the seam like cj2a bodies, but I decided to weld it up to keep water from getting in there again. Still have the driver side to do.
