Update..... Went out today and got the basics for a tune got spark plugs, leads, points, rotor button, dissy cap(on order and on way). Started up the old girl and she was much better then before!!! Yah all better now ;) I had a look at the plugs when i took them out and they were black as prob from sitting around from so long leads where rock hard as well!! Tommorow... my aim is to check the timing, put doors on passenger side and get wire brush any where else i missed!!! see ya jimi

hahaha :( thanks mate yeah i thought it would be but I'm willing to put in the hard yards so i can drive it!!! see ya jimi

Update.... Went out tonight and thought id get a wire brush on a drill and grind all the bubble spots and where the rust is in small spots, after grinding away for a bit my worst nightmare happened holes started appearing as i grinded away the paint and rust flakes :( most of it is in sills, bottom of guard, and the lip of the boot Any way pics... I put some paint on all the areas i exposed so now ill have to ask my panel beater friend on how to fix the holes up now lol :lol: see ya jimi
