Thanks, Yun. I'll definitely take this into consideration. I already started today by taking out the drenched carpets. I ordered a "TYC" replacement core from Rockauto. Most likely it's china stuff but I will have my OEM piece fixed by a specialized radiator welder so I can put it back in at a later stage (if ever needed).
So later this week I will pull the dash... Get s**t done
