acidentally with the aid of a hacksaw

wiring got in the way in 1 place so instaed of chopping the wiring the dash got it instead

need to gut the heater matrix out next and remove unessary wiring like stereo loom

to bypass the heater matric you pull the two pips off it then simply join them togther
im gonna look at mondeo coolent pipes next and simply get a shorter one and link it str8 up.

as for the de-mist you can get little ceramic electric heaters mount that up and aim it at the window.

also found out that the xr2i came with a heated window so if we fit one of them then a heater wont be needed
