My security blanket is one of my new best friends--the local MB master tech--he restored my 87e , allowed me to help with valve job and head gasket on 94 e320, we're "tinkering" at my house on Sat. when he is off and have a plan for the SL and the latest addition a 95 e320 coupe. He tells me what to do and watches me do it and offers "positive encouragement" at times. He will be sick when he sees this scratch(which is not to bare metal) but will know how to guide me..I'll see if he is OK with pics on various stuff with running commentary and see where it might end up....God help me, but I do love my cars....
