Well, I am not too worried about the pipes, they are already coated and they are not a long term solution anyway
As far as the holes in the tin...the engine tin itself is in good shape, fits snug and all that, its the engine shelf that the tin ties to that has a big hole in it from the compressor, and rust. I have the rust taken care of, but rather than weld a new shelf in, I want to just fab a sheet metal piece that will tie into the engine tin and then go all the way over to the wall below the battery tray. Will this be a viable solution?
Thanks,
Tony
