it's def gonna need a lot of work. I thought about buying it, as I have always loved these cars, had a 1/24 scale model of one wiith a dual blown engine when I was a teen. I am going to put the MB 180 on the road this year, and I have to focus on one car at a time. Offer seriously stands, if anyone wants it, I will hold it at my house until they can come get it.
