1986 420SEL with (more than) 220K miles.

I paid $1,000 for the car a year ago. I have spent a lot on this project car.

I figured that being a DIY-er, not a qualified MB mechanic, that replacing the timing chain and guides/tensioners was something that my good friend who owns an indy shop should do, not me.

He quoted between $2K and $3K depending on what was found.

Not sure that I want to invest that much in my $1,000 project car (did I sound like my wife?).

Thoughts?
