Absolutely brilliant work man. That is an incredible turn around. And by the way, I think the Bentley black carpets look fantastic - even better than original

Great job Johnny! Several years ago I restored a mid '70's corvette gutting the interior to it's shell. It was no where as as electronically complicated as that Bent. In fact , it was comparatively a 'Flinstone' mobile compared to that. It gives you a real appreciation for the coach builders that do that day in, day out. I've got my fingers crossed all the electronics 'talk' to each other as designed when your done. Keep the pics coming!

This is a monumental task, kudos for having the courage to do it. I did my A8 about 5 yrs ago and nothing even close to this, mostly a front end rebuild with thankfully no frame damage. The satisfaction of the end result is priceless. Great job.

What looks most daunting is the wiring but the harnesses are pretty much plug and play assembly wise. When you have everything out, it's easier to work.
Factory assembly will have test jigs to help along the way in terms of electrics. I wonder if there is a optimum way to bare bones the thing before final ***'y?
Getting that second wreck of course is vital to the project. We dismantled 2x Porsche 928s, but with hand tools and no cutting. Then parted the engine. What a learning experience. Wreckers chop harnesses etc.
