buy a better car,better paint and running sweet,stops well,more spare time,winner.buy the time you mod the crap out of the car now, you will spend over 3-5k.but thats no fun and you need a hobby to kill time,and break bones when you lose it
 like i said before,unless you become a mechanic,all ways under it and all ways broke,with a money pit.

removed the lsd today and the oil smelt like poo when i drained it, i noticed the front of the diff is leaking and was wondering is there a seal that is easy to replace on the front of the diff or is it a seal that can only have access from the back door

Bought rda rotors front and rear today, will fit them in the next fortenite. Lsd will go in tommorrow, clutch and all engine gasgets will hopefully be done by a month from now, then front suspension, hopefully power windows and quite possibly(but not 100% certain) a respray in the original colour, will probably just use the stock head and ticky valve springs/ mild cam until I rebuild the el ghia engine, will see how I go at saving for the paint job wether or not ill wanna turbo, I have 1.5 years to save the bits.

U mean the pinion seal is leaking ?
It's easy to change , mark the nut to pinion flange , remove the nut , remove flange using puller . Then remove seal .

well the lsd has 388000 kms on it and with 130w synthetic oil in it still works a treat, the gears made a great difference, not alot more notice in acceloration but just taking off is so much easier,
now today what ive been up to is dissasembling my head enough to send away for a skim and to check for cracks and bent valves, wont be reco'ing it because this motor will just be getting a mild cam and ticky valve springs from my ghia motor, i have plans for the ghia motor which involve a longer term project so i wont waste the xr head on this old motor. anyways my 4 slotted rda rotors should be here in the next day or so and once i get a set of pads and bearings ill put them on, will need to buy front springs and shocks soon aswell since my home made lowered ones on standard shocks are a little uncomfortable  will need to get around to finishing that power window conversion soon but thats not so important since all the windows work lol.

Rust bubbles are appearing
 fitted my slotted rotors and seen some in my sills. Starting to think twice about putting rego on it in january, If I repainted the car and all other stuff I had planned for it the cars going to owe me about 6 g or more. Which we all know it isnt worth Could very well step out of e series and find a cheap runabout to drive at least until I get a house sorted

Thats no good to hear!
Mine has a bit of rust in the outer sills too however it hasn't gotten noticeably worse for a few years now... Maybe hold off the paint job and just monitor the rust over the next year? You could always just buy a cleaner rust free shell for cheap and put all your running gear/interior into that or as you said just move on altogether, it all comes down to home much you really like the car I guess All the best!
