After using guides in iFixit to disassemble the mac and successfully applying thermal paste to the machine the problem of continuous and erratic rebooting remained. I decided to disassemble the machine to apply thermal paste and in the process clean up any dirt. From years of use the dirt and the paste were a MUST.
After reading an answer from lemerise about another mac that was also restarting randomly he suggested that the problem might be the power switch ...
Long story short I removed the power button with scissors and boot the mac from the "power-on-pads" and it now works even better than before the thermal paste for sure did a good job.
Obviously temporary fix will order the new top case part soon anyhow can still use my mac :)
