Got the morning off, so fit the replacement alternator as new one was faulty, put new points and condenser on, new manifold clamp and seal it up again and then if time allows I will tackle getting the wiper motor off to change the switch.

This is why I hate iPhones! They said "Please heat me up as I have frozen". Luckily I had a lighter on me XD

Plan for today: Do some more work on my doors, remove rear sound deadening, sort car tool box, clean out car, wash outside and then go uni at 2. Plan

I painted the inside of a door skin, cleaned out the inside and removed the front deadening. Kind of sorted my tool kit, missed my train to uni, ended up watching Lord of the rings.

Going cinema, suppose I better wash. Rust, dust, oil and paint isn't a good look XD

Stuck between stripped out lightweight or sound deadened with modern comforts. Or maybe I could mix it up a little XD

I'm going for the latter. No need to be a stripped out lightweight if it's a road car. You won't notice the difference anyway, I bet.
