I’d say there’s more paint on that car now than there was when it left longbridge! Looks beautiful

whoa, LOADS done today! Went to the paint shop to start fitting up to a rolling shell.

Some pics of the bay and underneath:

Anyway, I've finished my heated front screen switch. I needed a push once switch to activate the heated front relay (its on a timer) so a brake test switch was ideal as it doesn't click on. It came with the red test light, so I had a look in my box of bits and found an old heated rear screen switch that had a green background and a white screen logo! Result.
