That is an incredible find! The guys who sold it to you obviously have no interest in MB diesels nor understand their value. It is amazing that the wood looks to be in such great shape and also the dash.

So why a new windshield? Is it just leaking? You may just need to seal it if it is not cracked.

That is one of my favorite colors.

Welcome to the forum.
