That would be nice. However, If I didn't have to work on the D1 (still need a name for her) I would be lost in life and have to spend more time with the wifey. Not that it's a bad thing. But the D1 is my mistress and the wifey knows it lol.

A bit off topic, but fun anyways

No, I disagree, after having owned one and a few friends owned a few as well. They were just as bad as the 80's, just shinier and rounder in their designs. Certain parts perhaps were better build quality, but overall not so good with the metal they used, and the way they bent and spot welded bits.

ok I have removed and sealed the hell out of the roof rack and ripped out the floor insulation.
now today with the rain I pulled the pass front carpet and there is fresh water coming in, I am starting to thing that the base of the a pillars are rotted through to the inside and water is simply draining into the body instead of onto the ground, this is where the front sunroof drains go to, I am still without heads so the vehicle is stationary

Take off the plastic cowl ends that cover the hood hinges. If youre careful, you should be able to remove and re-install them without removing the hood. Check the areas uncovered for rust holes. I had 2 dime sized holes rusted out of both lower windshield corners.
Take off the plastic covers on the sides of the footwells. Check my rust thread to see the nonsense that can go on here. The major pain is that support bar. I sealed up the entire thing as best I could, but heavy rain will still give a tiny trickle from that on both sides of the vehicle. Comes in through a little seam near the dash mounts.
My solution for that and the rear door leak was to buy a $10 pack of ShamWow. I Folded nicely, then put them in an "L" shape at point where the leak hits the floor such that half is under the carpet foam and half sticks out the top to allow for evaporation. Does that make sense?
Anyway, if you can get your leaks to a minor level, the ShamWow has been a decent, cheap, semi-permanent solution.
