Little girl in Atlanta slid on wet pavement and squished the back end of my '67 200D. Body shop couldn't fix it and couldn't find a used back end. Bodyman took a bunch of measurements, took me out behind the shop, and showed me the back end of a car which he said could be welded on the 200D and would look real nice. I've forgotten which make it was.
I would have let him do it except for my wife who was a real MB addict. She would get almost physically ill when the least little thing went wrong with her 240D. She might have divorced me when she saw what I had done to the 200D. I drilled some drain holes in the trunk floor and chained down the trunk lid. Drove it that way until it was sold. It would have been a fun car to drive; MB comin' and XXcar goin'.
