could not say no to NOS wires on ebay, but you know how in V12 one thing can lead to another. Long story short, found cracked spark plug and here she is now, all tuned up with new wires, plugs, fuel pump, fuel lines, injectors and oil pressure sending unit.

O2 sensors are in the front converters, these are attached (while empty).
The rest is taken off for now, but I will start re-installing exhaust the upcoming week.

It is not hard, some bolts on top, some vertically in the back (behind splash shield) and two on the bottom.
