Default Firewall

Winterpark PD had a "GREAT" idea to solve the overheating problem during long idle times (e.g. roadwork) as they did not want to crack the hoods on their cars when the idled for prolonged periods.
Solution: Let's cut a hole in the fire wall, put in an electric fan and pull the hot air out of the engine bay. Great in concept, but not exactly a "professional" job.

I would have considered a lower temapture t-stat and heavy duty aluminum radiator to start. Regardless, Don did a nice job fixing the firewall. While it was in for the roof holes, moldings and bumper covers I had the firewall redone.

Enclosed are the pictures:
