I have bought my daughter a '84 300SD. I have done a lot of work on it to make the car safe and reliable. She likes the car, but doesnt yet have the sweat equity in it like you do. The car now runs well, but it had spent a few to many years up in New Jersey and has the pock marks to prove it. I hope she does enough of the paint and body work to develop 1/4 of sense of accomplishment that you have on your project. It has been converted to run WVO with a two tank system so I'll tell her to get on you WVO link to exchange notes.
