Hey it might work or it might not, but starting from complete scratch hvac wise this is the simplest solution.

Its called learning from your mistakes. One day he'll see that this was a really inefficient method but it won't matter because he, "built it himself".

You dont need to start from scratch though.

But I'd just get some heated seats, it really makes a difference. I know because I have no heat in my e30 and have to rely on the seats for warmth:D

People are really taking this thread the wrong way. Basically I just need a way to get some heat into this car so I can make it through the winter. I already had mostly everthing. I went to 3 junkyards in attempt to pull the heaterbox with no avail. It would more a pain in the ass to collect all the parts needed to install the factory unit becuase nothing was present and the wiring and connections have all been butchered up. I had most of what I needed to try this out and figured I could atleast give it a shot.

And yeah my other e30 has heated seat covers and it makes a pretty big difference.
