Tomguy: This car is very pretty from normal views but it has quite a bit of rust underneath. Not something I want to mess around with. The heads are in bad shape because i had a few bolts from the intake manifold break when removing the intake manifold. and the surface got scratched when trying to pry the manifold off. It was total worst case scenario removing that manifold. So i would need to either drop some coin on getting the heads fixed or find replacements. that is also a deterrent for finishing the project. it feels like it would be a lot less work to just strip off the remaining valuable parts, I have plenty of room to store the parts (not to park cars)

On top of that my wife and I both bought new cars this year but they are both parked outside because the garage has the two classics. I also have a w116 I am selling (a very beautiful + running one). I may want another w108 but one without the rust concerns. I will probably part it out and keep the parts I wanted to keep, sell others. At the same time I have gotten into the r107 models so if i decide to go that route. either way I can only have one spot in the garage because the wife is staking claim on hers :-)

Napster, The interior color is dark blue, most of it is in good shape.

Vandor, without looking i think it is good shape just faded from sun.

Jemla, I did a project restoring "everything on top of the motor" All new fuel lines, brand new bosch injectors, new frp, new damper. I used high quality silicone lines and black mesh heat covers. painted the metal parts of fuel lines. Very pretty / clean looking. Powder coated the valve covers silver. Sand blasted and Powder coated the air cleaner black. Someone could buy all of this as a package and really transform the look of the car under the hood.

A lot of the other parts were vacuum lines, oil hoses. Its been a while i would need to check after work.
