How much was the deposit on the kit/interior and how long until delivery and full payment?… I don’t think I can answer until I have clarity on this point

I’m going to stick my neck out then and say you’ll finish it, if you can build a house you can build a car

I keep hearing this but the skills and knowledge required are very very different.

You don't hurtle along a motorway in your house, wondering if you got all the bolts tight.

There is that, yes!
I am the sort that needs to know what I am doing before I do it. I am not the 'suck it and see' or 'hit and hope' type. I need to know what the effort on Y will be if I do X. That is proving very challenging at present because I know nothing about electronics. I could wire your house with my eyes shut but electronics are a different ball game. Everything is interlinked in a car in some way, especially modern cars.
I also hate making mistakes. They tend to be costly, time consuming and annoying.
People have already accused me of over-thinking this project; it's just how I am. I am not comfortable making changes that I don't understand the impact of. So I am trying to understand everything all at once and it's giving me a headache. I will get there with the help of some very knowledgeable people who are very generous with sharing their experience and knowledge.
