Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Resale value is of little concern. I bought it years ago on a whim... it's a looker and no hard or soft top issues. I'm rather gun-shy to putting another Mercedes engine in it. I had a trusty 240D that blew a piston. I was ready to rebuild it until I found out how much the parts alone would be. This car is for fun, not for breaking the bank.

Regards,

Steve
