Well, the 300SD refuses to leave. I have tried to sell it, but for some reason, it has chosen to stay, almost like the 1958 Plymouth from the movie 'Christine.'

So, at this point, I am looking into doing some upgrades to the car, such as tough up and cut/polish, rebuilding the seats and upgrading them with foam inserts, having the stock wheels powdercoated silver and stepping up to a 215/70R14, which 'Hammerwerfer' installed on his W116 without interference and it looked great too.

At present, I am also working on a plan to backlight the headlight surrounds to give the car a unique effect.

I recently tinted all the windows, including the windshield super-dark and it gives the car a completely different look.

For seats, I am thinking chocolate brown velour with acorn yellow piping to match the body.

Just thinking outloud at this point....
