Boy, do I have an old Ford wagon for you! Shame you aren't closer, I'd like to see it go to someone like you. It does hold some sentimental value for me, but the reality is, proper bodywork costs the same to do on an old Ford as it does on a Mercedes, so I think I'd rather allocate the funds to future work on a Merc and make new memories. I think a TE or even a TDT would be a nice replacement. :-)
