finally got to work on her today running really nice now exhaust isnt leeking and the eletrics are all sorted, on to the carb next then timing. alarms being shipped to me, canabilized a corsa winder handle to tix mine, refitted the stereo but not in dash. centred the steering wheel, seeing about getting the dash retrimmed. Fuel tank of fuel going in tomorrow, Now have eletric washer jets and manaul pumped ones too lmao. found leeak on rear windows to fix removed drivers seat belt. Coat hanger for arial. It coming slowly lol is it leaking from the top rail? or is it from under the seal, I had to remove the rear window in order to fix the window frame, strangely until I removed the seal there was no indication of the rust hole behind the seal! It is through the rear window sills.

The exaust is fixed with silicon yes silicon my freind suggested it I though he was made but for a £1 tube its not leaking and I have 2/3 of a tube left Fitted reflective tint to rear load area and rear door quarter lights today. NEW Dizzy cap fitted to. Sound system set up and decided I will remove chrome strips from Gutters and chrom paint the gutters instead. Going to try and chrome paint the rear window surround. Will tint out the rear passenger windows too Fitted a Sunstrip to could have been lower. never mind lol
