Super job! Did you strip it all down, or just remove what needed work?

I stripped it down inside and took care of some minor rust issues, and worked thru the wiring issues, most things were not working but it is all going now except for the rear defrost switch doested stay on, but $150 for a used switch is not something I am ready for.
