Darned nice result for a flood victim car! Congrats. Just curious, what was your gas mileage like to FL and back? I'm curious because we just did a 3K mile trip in our S600, I'm interested to know what the S550 4Matic will do on a similar trip.

Awesome work and congrats on the job well done! Very impressive and the car looks beautiful.
I guess all those comments that you don't have the skills, you don't know what you are doing, that the car is worth $300, that you should dump it or part it out etc must have helped you with a motivation to have it done :-)

Congrats to you for being successful on what many of us would have said was an impossible project.
I'm sure we will all be interested to hear how your car holds up in the long term.
Good for you!

congrats on your built it looks great,
it is interesting how many negative feedbacks you got at the beginning from people who have no idea what are they talking about ,
I rebuilt few flooded Audi S5 A7 and got same stupid feedbacks from audi forums
my friend was giving me same advice when I got my flooded A7 , after 1 month I was driving an Audi A7 and he had his used Toyota Venza for 3x of the price (CLEAAAAAN TITLE)

@Kevin Sahib Great progress! It's impressive what you have done with this car. What is your total investment in the car now?
