Some of you wanted more pics. Keep in mind I have not had a chance to do anything except the valves since I got it. I haven't even washed or vacuumed it yet. What you see is what I got

Methinks you did very nicely Jack!

Very nice! How much did she cost? I really like the 300CD, it is one of my favorites and I hope to find one in the near future.

Nice pictures - and a very nice car. I really like the looks of the CD and your paint color

Wow

That's an amazing deal. Even the first aid kit and tool pouch.

I saw a thread here where someone has new green first aid box stickers available.

Check post #63. I think he made it himself and it looks a bit rough on the edges. I looked in my wagon and the First Aid Symbol is made out of plastic. Being in the graphic arts field, I could easily make some stickers if I had a sample to match for size, material and color.

For it to look professional, they would need to be printed and the minimum run is usually 250. If there was enough of a need for them, I could handle getting them produced.

Otherwise I could make a sticker that matches my plastic cross closely on a gloss self adhesive stock. This way would probably fade pretty quick, but I could make a sheet of the logos with crop marks that you could cut out yourself as needed giving you at least 9 backups for future replacement.

Let me know if interested.

Nice coupe, congrats! Looks like it will clean up well - all the good bits are intact and just needs some TLC.

I did not make them myself, a friend owns a sticker making shop and he gave me some. Trying to get in touch with another friend who has done some stickers before but he never answered back about them. Only reason it's rough is I could not remove the old sticker, at least enough to get it out without damaging the lid.

looks like leather seats too, and in decent shape, cool. be sure and condition it well and often, leather cracks easily when not taken care of.

Love the color, 877 - Petrol Green Metallic. Seems to be a fairly "rare" color.

Jack,

We have something in common.

Mine is an 85 with 212K when I bought it one year ago for $2500.

Black now, orig Blue, and MB Tex...

It looks like you are missing one set of door tabs.... they are hard to find cheap.

Let us know how you make out with it.

I would love to go, but I don't think it is going to happen,

We just went to Disney last week, and spent hundreds.....

Money is tight, I just had my 12 year anniverissay, my youngest birthday is today, and my birthday is in 3 weeks, with Christmas right around the corner.

Can we set up a Spring meet, maybe around my area? Destin, FL.
