Well it sure looks and sounds like you've made a turn at the crossroads and it's towards doing the rest of the work..eventually....to make this car a keeper. Car truely looks great right now despite the dings fron the p.o. college kid. Would certainly think you could flip it for some nice coin at some point. Did you see the NYT article someone posted on PP about the prices a couple of "Benz Addicts" in SanFran were selling restored 280's & 240's like yours for?

You didn't say, or I else I missed it, if you had done body work before or farmed it out?

Keep up the post as you make progress. Enjoying the ride from afar.
