My 83' 300D

Finally got some pics of my $200 wonder...dont laugh!!
Cleaned it up this weekend using mercedes benz paint prep and a porter cable orbital polisher and some carnuba wax...It's rained twice and I've driven it down some dirt roads so its not as clean as it was...

320,000 and still going strong!!
Best $200 I've ever spent.

Any car that runs and passes inspection for $200 is a good deal.
