basically these vents allow alot of water in when raining. there isn't really adequate draining here. so water sits in there

and rust from inside out. Big NO NO so i'm shaving them.

 

i'm aware that this provides air to the cabin but... i have a few ideas on how to route air to the cabin a different way.

and finally... making a larger opening for a larger radiator.

 

this top section i'm going to make bolt on so its easy to remove if needed.

440mm i think i can't remember but around that.

enlarged to 580mm to fit a sprinter sized radiator. also the hole is a lot more centralised.

and capped.

 

don't worry i wire brushed the inside.. only the outside is rusty and the car is going to my work for sandblast in approx 3 weeks anyways.
