Heater Core

 
What was suppose to be a simple replacement turned out to be a rust party...  We had to remove the whole heater assembly to get to the heater core.  When we took the assembly off you can see in the picture we had rust.  BUT it was 90% surface rust, not rot holes.  On the back of the assembly was a rot hole and we treated it the best we could there .   We were thinking we were going to find a nest or something in there, but nothing.  I sanded off what I could see and painted the metal around, then we slapped it back on with a new heater core.  My wife is lucky we did this because she would have got a mouth full of rust the first time she tried the heater!!
