I couldn’t get the link to work. Anyone else have a problem?

Link works for me.
Video shows a lot more problems than the photos do, a lot more close up. Got to see the ID plate on the fender, originally like my car - hardtop, no softtop, Euro delivery outside of Germany. It needs a lot of help.

Cool project for sure but I think you would be underwater at 1/2 that price even if you did it all yourself, knew how to shape metal, weld like a pro and were dynamite with a laser beam.
I have done a couple cars ( 1971 BMW 2002 and a 1976 Honda Civic) in that condition (thankfully my pagoda was in a bit better shape than that) and its a never ending chase trying to eradicate that rust worm.
But just think about the fun you would have.

link doesn't work for me either.

Lots of old neglected MBs for Cees to save! ;D

@Rodd Haha, I regularly look at what Dodi has on offer, but it's quite often basket cases. He does have a Triumph TR6 that looks good and at a reasonable price that I would not mind having, but fortunately I don't have the space to have more cars/projects than I already have ...

How's that 944 coming along? I'm jealous of that one!

The link worked, but all I saw was a 280 SL for sale...

I deleted the post, it was a forum spammer...

I noticed I missed Rodd's question about my son's and my POrsche 944.
We had to do a couple of things to it when we first bought it: new tires, shocks and struts and, most significantly, a new clutch, that was a bit of a job since the whole transaxle has to move rearwards to make room for the bell housing and clutch to come out, and even then it's super tight. But we managed. We then had the timing belt and balancing shaft belt, engine mounts and accessory belt replaced by a specialized garage and it's been my son's daily driver ever since. The only other thing we had to do, late last year, was replace the radiator but other than that the car has been flawless. It's a lot of fun driving through the canyons near our new home in San Diego County. Not sure how much longer my son will keep driving it as he just landed his first job with a startup that designs and builds 'mini-nuclear-powerplants' closer to Los Angeles. And we're still working on restoring our 1968 Ford Mustang, so there's that as well ...
