I bought this 1977 450 SL on ebay for $1300. Wife thought I was crazy! I fixed it up, did all the body work myself and had Maaco paint it. I can now say that It's pretty nice. Here are some pictures of before and after. My next project is a 1984 300dt that I picked up for $400. This is another one I saved from the junkyard! you can see the pictures at http://www.photobucket.com/bradsscooters
