Default My ef6 glasstop restoration

Well folks heres my 89 glasstop resto project.
I got the car from andy from tuning factory a few months back.
Its going slow at the moment, i'm trying to find time inbetween work etc and i've no welder gas and my tools were stolen with my ek4 in feb.
She has solid arches but the floor pan has a large hole and its pretty patchy around the boot lid rubbers.
Here's some pics of her.


























Thats the progress so far.

Plans are:
Tahitian green respray inside and out.
Meister-r's
Poly bush
Arb kit f/r
Upgraded disc/pad combo
Wire tuck the bay
B16a transplant from my ek4(got the engine back)
S80 box and hydro conversion kit

Thats the main list i'm sure i'll deviate a little with some small touches.

Not sure but its got 280k kilometers on her.
I've never welded but my da is a welder/fitter by trade so shouldn't be an issue.
I'm more worried about the wiring and piecing a half stripped car back together as the thing was partially stripped when i got it.

As far as i know it was running but its been lying up for a while before i got it.
You can have it for 50 bobs box and anything else off it it'll only go in the bin anyways man.
