Speaking of heater cores...The one thing fairly major left to do on my 1978 Spider is to install a new heater core. The old one failed about three years ago and my mechanic just disconnected everything. It's been in that state since. I'm not much of a do-it-yourselfer, but I have handy friends. The thing is, now that the interior has been redone, I'm reluctant to start anything that might ruin things--I've heard that removing the old core can involve liquids leaking, etc. I'd hate to ruin the pristine carpet. I'm wondering, though: Now that three years have passed, is there likely to be any liquid left in the system to worry about? Also, is this a big job? Can anyone give me an estimate of how long it might take amateurs to do it? Is it something best left to a pro? Does it involve anything nasty like removing the dashboard (probably not, but you never know)?. Anything else that would be sensible to replace at the same time?
