You got a Morgan? DAFAQ

Back on topic, vacuumed the interior and also cleaned the interior on mine, long overdue as it was not cleaned since April. Hopefully I will have the energy and enthusiasm to clean the exterior one day.

The new upper pan was only $200, so not too bad, but the week long rental is going to be even more than that. Sigh, stupid cars and their necessity for oil. Hopefully I'll get everything bolted back together this weekend.

Default GTR Start Button, Map Light Lenses, Weather Tech Mats

Today I picked up a GTR start button and Map light lenses, install took a total of about 10-15 minutes. Also yesterday my Weather Tech floor mats came in the mail and they fit like a glove! Considering getting the trunk mat in the future. The new map lenses are so clear and crystalline they're a huge improvement with aesthetic and efficiency, and the red GTR start just looks so much more menacing

Next project is installing the rear fog light as it was meant to be. I have the part number for the lamp but having trouble finding the SKU for the illuminated fog light switch. If anyone knows let me know!

The switch is outrageously expensive. Several hundred dollars if I'm not mistaken. Unless you absolutely must have the OEM switch, I would just buy a switch for a few bucks and wire it up yourself. Lots of people have done it, so there's plenty of DIY help on the forum if you search

Wow yeah the light isn't that expensive, but damn that harness and switch is! Might forgo that route altogther.

Thanks for the links, after seeing the process and the price for the switch I'm considering just getting the light and hooking it up with the tail lights so that they go on together. Same effect, I just wont have the separate control which isn't a big big deal since if if visibility is going to be low when using the fog I'm most likely going to have the tail lights on as well.

Thanks again guys, love the support here

So driving to Niagara I was ambushed by a wild wild rock. Said wild rock was super effective against my car.

spending the day @ Niagara with this in the back of my mind.

Well gotta call speedy for them to order a replacement and such.
