Well i bought it. It was no where near as nice inside as the photos suggest, the dash is cracked, the interior is dirty looking, the sun roof don't work, the rear suspension is a little bouncy but not undrivable, there is a little rust below the rear window on rhs, and the engine is not idling well mainly when in gear. But it drives quite well, no knocks in the suspension, the trans changes smoothly, the aircon works and has been converted to R134a professionally, the exterior is very straight except for a small scratch on the left rear door, the bonnet emblem has been broken off as has one of the headlamp wipers.
I got it for $2000 australian, some will say iam mad but it was it was like a lost dog that needed a home. And even if it fails in some major way i can use the brakes on my W123 300d and wreck and sell off the parts on ebay,, but at this stage i think it is a viable project.

ps... does any one know how to edit your signature
