I'm still positive about the car. I'm thinking about colour =>

I reckon it could look good again with a bit of elbow grease and with a nice powerful engine in it (and a W126 suspension and brake upgrade) it could be good fun.

But I'm taking one step at a time.

The plan is to practice my (new acquired) welding skills and see how far I can get with that. If I can fix the rust and paint I think the car has a chance of survival.
