ok well dam hot out today but rather then lay around the house i have pulled both my seats perhaps i shoulda left my drivers one alone but eh
anyhow the passenger side is not as bad as the driver side upan closer look but still i need to go beef up my structur as my door closes bit stiff like the other side was doing hopefully i can also get my suspention mounting point beefed up also as the local potholes will take their toll on it if i don't
after pulling up the carpet and sound damping i grabed this eek what a mess
after taking the tar damping off i find i am left with this
front passinger side floor i found the floor in way better shape then the driver side but still the damping pading was soaked not surprizing but still surprize how well the floor and subframe is just need to pic up some silica and get to sand blasting i gues and see how bad it realy is and get some new peaces welded in
after diging and scraping and vacuming out all the crap this is what i'm left with still have a bunch more prop work to do befor i can put any new metal in but so far its looking prity good and i found what apears to be a plastic bag being used to patch some sorta previous hole in the floor

Sad For My Car..

makes me sad to see how bad the rust is :S i think my best option is to find another 145 and build 1 out of 2 and store all the spare parts i can get in a storeage locker for it. down the street is an old warehouse thats rented out for storeing boats and working on cars ect should give the number on the building a call and find out how much they want for rent

Another Quest Done.
Found new brake pads who woulda thought i would have such a hard time finding pads for my car. if i had girling calipers i would of found a set real esay. But i have the ATE
So today i was out runing around looking for pads agian and was sent to a shop by another shop and get there and ask and the guy looks on his computer then shook his head and then said wait here while i see what i have in the back back for old stock and vala he came back with a set of premium pads witch was not what i was looking for. but i got them marked down from 47.95 cause they were old stock and got them for 30$ couldn't say no to that cheaper then have ordering the cheapest set localy or online after shiping and taxs can't complain
so my next quest is a set of dust boots for my caliper pistons already gone out looking around for them today gues i gota get them online or go for a 6 hour bike ride to the only volvo dealer in town to get told to buy a new volvo or get lost lol or suck up to my dad and go for a drive out there
