Cleaned out the garage today Wifey had enough of the shit laying round we have not had a proper clean out since we moved in.I've moved shit round some but now we can see floor yay feels like I've moved into another gear have taken out the front and back windows .The back has never been replaced before as it just came out with a push, but the front put up a right fight fu#$ing thing was put in with a hot wire seal and as fast as you cut the thing they stick back together lots of soapy water and craft knife blades . the rust is bad in the front along the bottom as the Shit glue has blocked the drain holes so the water has made it's own drain . all fixable going to change the mig over to .6 mm wire as we use 1 mm to fix race car doing the stuff no one will see first then I'll know how bad/good i am and how much work Wal will have to do that's if he can fit it in and want's to do it that is .
I've got 2 more months before i start back at work so have the time but not the coin so good time to get my head down .
Also took the dash out today and got all the lights working hmm pritty lights and got the clock working so cool sitting sitting in the dark garage looking at the lit up dash and hearing the tick tock of the clock .My misses thinks I'm f%$#ing nuts but i don't care I'm in redneck heaven .

Today took the roof lining out not as bad as i thought it would be all the wiring is out and the tank and efi pump had a z18t in it before i got my hands on it .
Tomorrow i can start on rust yay so much done in so little time .

I want to open a can of worms here what do you guys think of seam welding i would not do it to other cars but on the 160j you have such a big opening in the middle and the flex could be a problem ether maldat or the guy that had it before had tried looks like it was done with a stick welder
fuckers but i was thinking of doing the roof supports and cross brace and in the bum end to try and stop flex thoughts any one
