My 2000TC 'Minstrel' needs a lot of TLC..

I am only having one problem at the moment and that is the reversing lights are not working. I need to clean under the car below the gear stick to check the switch and wiring. The wiring to the lights inside the car seem fine although I have not done a 'live' test on them.

There is no need to get under the car to reach the reverse light switch. There is an opening on the side of the tunnel under the carpet, so that you reach the switch from the driver's side.

I should have known that as I had to replace my speedo cable thru that opening. Lol
 
Here is Part 1 of the images from the Heater matrix renovation and respray. Took the matrix out as it was really noisy. Cleaned and repaired the box where necessary. Using advice from Alexandra C. Phillips, I stripped and repaired the fan motor. Heater all back in and running great.IMG_20200522_092044.jpgIMG_20200522_092121.jpgIMG_20200522_092901.jpgIMG_20200522_095547.jpgIMG_20200522_095558.jpgIMG_20200522_114530.jpgIMG_20200522_114610.jpgIMG_20200522_114934.jpgIMG_20200522_114942.jpgIMG_20200522_120931.jpgIMG_20200522_125703.jpgIMG_20200522_133802.jpgIMG_20200522_134038.jpg

All 4 jacking points. Majority of all welding was initially done in 2016 although, I have done more since then. As a lot of the photo's never showed on here in previous posts I will now post them separately in the area of where the repair was done.

Sills. I may not have described the sills correctly but most of the time the pictures tell you if the sill is internal or external. Also the the photos show how bad the rust originally was!! All of the welding done here was done in 2016
