Alternator I put on it is making a bit of a noise to I will have to replace it, its charging but one of the bearings must be gone or the belt is too loose.
Electric windows sort of work now but not how they should, I have started to uncover the wiring and once the dash is removed I should find the problem.
I'm looking forward to spending a couple of solid days on this

A little progess today as I have to work later
Dash removed and what a pain with the alarm wires wrapped round everything, took me over an hour to remove it. alarm disconnected and binned
Sorting electric windows
Got the passenger side working but the drivers still refused to work properly so i will rewire it and bypass the 'one shot' unit.
Heater has to be removed as the resistor isn't working next.

I noticed that the seats are faded so I replaced those
Normally a clip here but not sure if this was how it started with a large self tapper as there was still plastic covering on it

Older dash has the fuse box surround on it and you have to remove the steering column to get it out. I might try to convert the newer dash to include the fuse box surround, just to be brave enough to cut into it
Radio lamp on older types and additional strip of plastic for the speaker front/rear control
