BobK, the car got new shocks at about 150K miles. The rust repair didn't involve full panel removal, as it was well confined to right around the jacking point--strip, small amount of metalwork, refinish, about $400 or so as I recall.

We are slowly gettener done. I inherted this 83 380Sl from my father when he passed away so Not resoting or selling it is out of the question. Had to repair some extensive rust in the trunk and the front valance Replaced both rocker panels. Also replaced both fender skirts with pathc panels.
Hope to have to ready for paint by summer. One thing for sure it has been a fun family project.
