Hi folks,
Slowly getting the car ready for restoration to go to the body shop.
Question:
I would like to remove the heater box. I already have the dash out. The car will sit for about 2 months before we get it into the shop but I'd like to start restoring the heating box now.
Do I need to drain the radiator? I was worried about leaving the radiator empty for a long period as it may start to rust or scale. Can I simply remove the heather hoses from the firewall and cap them off? That way I can keep the fluid in the system?
thoughts?
