This started as a quick re-paint, now it's a major project (to me anyway). I found a parts car with almost a perfect blue interior so while the dash is out to be replaced, the heater core is getting replaced too. I got the parts car for the same $$ I'll pay for the heater core. It runs, but poorly, and is badly rusted but the interior is what I needed.

Questions:

1. What else should I consider replacing while the dash and heater box is out?
2. Anyone have experience with or have any suggestions for fixing or replacing the material that is cracking and coming off of the firewall (presumably a sound/heat insulation)?

I'll try to keep documenting the project as is progresses. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot, I almost put it in interior and detailing.

Thanks for the help.
