It's always good to have something that you can just drive up to the front of the Wal-Mart parking lot and take the first narrow space available.
Besides, the engine in that thing would probably be worth over $4000 to someone with a nicer car and blown engine.
Assuming new seat covers in the front, how is the rest of the interior? Would it be respectable inside with new seat covers?
We live close enough to the Potomac German salvage yard that I bet a new hood might be do-able. Possibly any W126 hood would work, not just from an SDL.
Like I said, I'd have gone for it except for the already diesel overdose.
