My 1.7L heat exchangers' tins are being eaten away by the rust bug, would it be possible to make my own box-like (heat catching) tin and weld or somehow fasten it over the exhaust tubes that seem to be in pretty good shape other than surface rust?

I'm restoring my car (going down to bare frame) and I would rather save my money for more important things, for now at least.

Anyone done anything like that?
