Waiting on a couple of parts at the moment ! The Otter switch in the radiator decided to start leaking and popped out, lol. Apparently a common problem on older Scimitars as the seal becomes hard and there isn't anything to stop it coming out.
My photographic skills aren't the best but it will look better in the sun rather than my cramped garage !
There are a few shows coming up in my area, I've booked to go to the Classic Nostalgia event at Shelsley Walsh on Sunday 18th July. Looking forward to getting out and about in the car, seems to have been a long time coming !

The new Otter switch, seal and clip are now in place and leak free ! The fuel and temp gauges are now working correctly after checking and refitting the wires on the back of each, lol ! My new wood rimmed steering wheel is now fitted, really finishes off the interior. Very happy with the final look, fit and finish !
