Is it worth my trouble Feeler
 

Would anyone have any interest in a w124 gas wagon that I swap a 5 spd manual in to? I am wanting to know if I went forward with the swap if anyone would be interested in it..... assuming I didn't want to keep it for myself. I have all the parts laying around in the garage.

Speculating on modified cars is always risky business. Just my opinion. I would build if you want it and can afford/want to keep it if you cant sell it, or if someone puts a deposit on it up front.

Someone may tell you today yeah I'd probably buy it but in 2 months when you're done and the real numbers show up they'll back out. Happened to me before.
