Introducing Project "SD"

It's official and it's on it's way to me. Project SD will soon be beginning.

What I know:
It's a 1985 300SD with 270's thousand miles
Wrecked in the front.. I believe it was Driven through a fence and then hit a small tree(?)

if you all are interested I can post the VIN breakdown of it
oh, I'd like to call it something other then chattanooga choo choo so, any ideas?

Some pictures I have on it:

That 300SD's facial expression is what I think about the interior.

Good luck man. I'm having a heavy debate with myself to do my rear axles on my own. This type of job is so much out of my reach.

Ew, I can't stand the red interiors.....if I were looking to buy another, and came across a one in perfect condition with that color I'd still walk away.

That "red wine" color interior is my favorite for the 123. I'm not so sure in the 126. I looked long and hard to find a 123 with it. I finally found one, the interior was mint but the car was a rust bucket (shame). I have yet to see one that has faded. Good find! I love it!
