Default Firewall and Lower Cowl

Hey guys have a question for ya. Orginally thought I was just gonna chunk my firewall and lower cowl, but got to thinking today and am wondering if you'll think they're repairable or not. The lips that were tacked together are questionalbly in fair shape. But some educated opinions couldn't hurt.

So, what to do?

thx, Trev

The firewall looks like it is good to go, but the cowl should be replaced. Yes, with good thin metal welding skills, you could manufacture a strong cowl, but is it really worth all that effort?

i agree with what soaring has said the firewall looks great. as for the cowl it would be a lot easier to just replace it. mine is in the same condition, but since i have barely any money to spend on my car, would rather spend 30$ on sheet metal and a few hours repairing what ive got.
