I will compromise in every area except the body. I don't do bodywork, nor am I planning on learning to. I consider bodywork an art form, and I am not an artistic person. I can R&R bolt on stuff like bumpers and the like, but it if involves welding, bondo, paint, ect., it's off the list. Dan

Although I can weld well enough - not pretty but passable - I'd rather not take that route if it can be helped. I prefer to pull a fender if needed and paint the inside surfaces with POR15 or equivilent - that's *my* kind of restoration work. ;-) Course, I realize there are lots of cars out there with rust here and there that are significant cars which require the effort needed to rid it of rust. I'd just rather not be involved with those. Luckily, there are lots of talented people who will take a truck load of boxes filled with unknown parts and no rust-free sheetmetal larger than a hubcap and end up a couple of years later on the lawn at Pebble Beach reaching for the blue ribbon - Larry T (66 MGB, 74 911, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net 800-583-8601 Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Booher" To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 1:13 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OK Don has a new car > On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 10:44 PM, Kaleb C.
