today i was in the final stages of repainting my 77 240d. its a good car, so i decided to do a good body job on it. well, in my final coat of base coat, my air line blew on my compressor, the big 3/4 galvanized one. it made schrapnel scratched the paint, and went everywhere. i ruined my 500dollar spray gun too. I was mad and took my frustration out on the car. i took a 10 pound sledge and hit every panel, and glass. so now i dont want to fix the car anymore.

has anyone gotten to this stage before? should i give up? i dont know if its a mid life crisis, but i think its time for a real car and not a 35 year old junkers.

well im done ranting, and ill probably part out my 77 240. if anyone needs anything let me know, obviously body and glass are bad. engine has 30k miles on it. mercedes of sarasota put a brand new motor in it in 2007. i have all papers. everything on the car worked flawless, cruise control. new brakes all around including calipers. redone seals in my tranny.

im either going to part out or sell my 73 220d as well.(id rather sell that one whole)
