The issue with the subdivision is that you cant really work on anything. So, until I find a place with some acreage to put a shop up, this place will have to do. I like the job, but this drive is killing me. I'll just buy a couple recent model cars for the wife and I for now, and start from scratch collecting Benz diesels again when I find a better place (gathering them has been a source of true enjoyment anyway, haha). I bought this house 80K under tax assessment, so I'm in it right. Not concerned about unloading it later once I find what I really want.

My question is, what would the car go for with a new painted fender, and the door repaired and painted, versus letting it go and letting the next owner get it sorted out.

Fixed? Not fixed? Ballpark, what am I looking at both ways selling it? I'm trying to get cash together to make the down payment on the house, so getting a bit here and there helps!
