I need some SUPPORT as in support group. I startin to feel a little wierd about being the only one on the road with a twenty year old diesel "biplane" whil everyone else drives $25000 brand new cars....
Ii have a nice 240D with the usual collection of odd stuff it takes time to fix, like right now the vacuum locks need work and a swiming pool in the back passenger side every time it rains.
I just put a real nice engine in it, i figure I would use it a year or for a commuter car, but the engine replacement went so well, now I am getting ambitious.
I am thinking of fully restoring it, like my 300D, which doesnt miss one bit of trim or function.
However I have rust underneath the rear quarter panels/rear wheel weels that would take some money to repair. Thats the only thing keeping this car from going a Longgggg way...
Well the car is almost 20 years old....is it worth it? I need some SUPPORT as in support group.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures.....where......rust destroy(s)..."

Rust can eat up steel almost as fast as it "eats" up money. I'd get an idea of cost from a few sources first; rear quarter panel replacement can let the project get out of hand quickly....but if it could be only repaired. Amount of rust vs. amount of money.
