A projection operator formalism based on the Feshbach doorway approach is developed for low energy heavy ion scattering. An application to /sup 12/C+/sup 12/C is made with doorways taken as quasibound or virtual states of the reduced mass coupled to 2/sup +/ and 3/sup -/ vibrations. The elastic differential cross section at 90 /sup 0/ is calculated and agrees rather well with experiment by producing both the gross and intermediate molecular structure.
