I was cleaning up in the basement today and took a couple quick pics of a heat box from my '85 1.9 WBX PN on front where it meets body https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-N-ZevkWsq3I/Up-lh778uSI/AAAAAAAAIrs/_HVUBJdm4X0/s600/Heat%2520Box%2520Front%2520To%2520Body.jpg PN from top https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-cR-CXWlbCms/Up-lhle_pQI/AAAAAAAAIro/yGQEscH8RXc/s500/heater%2520box%2520top.jpg AFAIK, both halves are original to each other and this is the OEM box for the '85 I pulled it from. Anyone know if the "84" stamp denotes model year (and punch marks for month) ? Not that it really matters in Jim's case. Jim my guess is that the '86 box will at least bolt up to the body. I bet Mark Drillock has commented on this.
