Default 86 Heater Core

This job is not that bad, but it is time consuming! I started about 11:30 and I have the core out and have pictures! I can say though that since I no longer have the factory crash pad, I think it is easier.

I would really like any pics of difficult areas of this job, as part of the rebuild I'm doing will include heater core replacement. It's not leaking, but sure as I'm sitting here, as soon as I try to take it somewhere, it'll start. Just my luck. Really doesn't look hard, just tight places to work. Looks like my cars brother.
