I'd make it mechanically perfect, restore the interior.. Put some new period correct tires on it and rock the patina.

Looks original, given the early W115 aluminum grille insert and headlight doors with the bright amber signals w/o the later clear overlay. Bet the taillights are all red, no amber turn signals....
That Becker GP is a pretty unusual radio for a 220D. Had one in my 6.3, I've never seen anything better than a Becker Europa in a diesel.... Cool. Jim

Thats great looking forward to seeing the progress on it. I'm sure it will be pretty nice...
 Nice Foglamp horns lol... Just an unusual place to put it on.. My dad has four horns underneath the car.. Loud enough you'll jump when you hear it...lol..

As for the cracked dash...
I happen to know of what I think is the correct dash for that car for sale in FL. It was listed on eBay months ago and didn't sell... I was recently in contact with the seller; it is still available, but it turned out to be the wrong type for my car (for some reason, the 300D has the later-style dash used in the W114 models, unlike the 240D which uses a 115 dash).
In any case, if you are interested drop me a PM and I'll send you the seller's email address. I think he wanted about $400 for the complete dash. While it looked OK in the pics he sent me, they weren't very good pics... caveat emptor. D. Quote:

Yeah, rock the patina! That car earned that look for 28 years. It kinda tells the story about how amazing a car it is that it can start after all those years. It's one thing to have a babied 40 year old car that still runs, but to have one all but left for dead for 3 decades come back to life is a testiment to its durability.
Unbelievable. Great job!! (yellow interior? Love it!)
