Over the past three months, I have been more and more pleased with my 84' 300D. I need a few mechanical things, but im beginning to see the light, as 500 bucks got me a long way with body work. The question now is should I respray the car? There are quite a few different coats of painton different areas of the car now but there are also numerous areas with factory original. This is a tough call. If I respray, paint is no longer original, If I dont, then car remains patchwork.

I will have a Mercedes resto specialist paint it, but will I decrease the value alot? And on that note, If I enjoy the car so much, shouldn't I just make it how I want it with lots of mods?
The only problem is, is that the interior and engine are sooooo clean that modding it up and painting it will seriously decrease value, to a collector. (I presume)

So, what would you do?

Mod

Not Mod
