I had planned on patching with fiberglass around the firewall area, and having no rust left in this area. I had planned on replacing the rockers and floors with new complete patch panels from Mercedes (about $200 per side on rockers and about the same for floors).

Honestly, how much do you guys think this car is worth? I bought it for $1,200 after talking the seller down from over $2,000. It had 30 year old petrified tires and it didn't seem like it had ever had a part replaced (every part was probably original).

I replaced or serviced almost every mechanical part of the car and now it's in reliable daily driver condition except for the seeping radiator, engine cold smoking and oil leaks. It has good power and doesn't seem to smoke when warmed up. I've probably got about $2,000 into this car in parts alone (not including labor).

It would make me sick to sell it for less than what I originally paid for it after all of the time and money I have in it. I see ones in much worse condition listed for $2,000-$3,000 all the time. The interior is in amazing condition. It looks good visually except for the rust spots and where the paint is peeling off. I would say just have those spots resprayed after putting in new patch panels so you don't have to spend $5,000 on a complete paint job.

I just don't have the time or money for two cars. I make so little money at my job that it would be stupid for me to have a car that sets around when I could get cash for it.
