Car is coming back together. Got the driver seat tilt fixed. Got new corner lenses. Needs glow plugs, but they can wait for now. Can't wait to get the rest of the interior back in.

Today went alright, got the exhaust rehung and got the oil cooler remounted. Got the Michelins from my 82 on here now. I think the last thing I need for inspection is wiper blades.
Had to keep you updated on the progress.

cool, what do you have in mind for paint?

Same color, Manganese Brown. Don't know what color the bottom cladding is, but I'd like to paint that too. Unfortunately, paint is a long ways down the road.

I think Thomas Pindelski's '83 300SD is the same color:

He also has a nice story of how he originally purchased the car, and how he came to own the car again after his mother's passing.

A truly touching story:
