I think I can replace the floors without much trouble, are rocker panels and other major body parts still available?

Is my friend buying into a bottom less money pit?
i think it's a w112. top of the line model, either se or se (l, for lang - i.e. long wheelbase) sedan of coupe or cabriolet. (so its fuel injection - bosch? )

others will chime in with more info (and some corrections?)

(a personal favorite, especially the coupe/cabrio)


(don't think they made a lot of them - but may be some similarities to other models, parts wise?)
