The various mechanical issues can be fixed given enough time and money...but the rust will break your heart.When you get it under control here,it will show up there.If you really want any 107,take your time and look around as there are always good ones out there.These cars are unique with a timeless look but they are not rare.

Euro engines,the 380(116)included,were stronger and had the double chain.You can always pull the RH valve cover(the easy one)for a look see.

The rust would still make me look elsewhere.

Good luck,ch7ckc
