Apart from the electrical gremlins it looks like a lovely car.

Don't be put off with cleaning the carpets, it's well worth the effort in removing it and giving it a good power wash. I've done a few in my time giving it a thorough cold wash to get rid of loose dirt then applying a carpet shampoo before a final rinse.
I placed mine inside the greenhouse to dry it out and they came up like new.

Also once the carpets are removed it gives you a chance to check out the interior floor pan etc and check for water leaks before refitting the carpet.

Good luck with the resto.
