Hello. I am from Poland and daily I am owner of Skoda Octavia.
In my garage I am conduct restoration of the Mercedes 560 SEC 91'. It is very rusty car and he had not very easy. I have pull out him from the grass. Underbody is very rusty and engine had a collision with pistons du to broken timing chain guide. ;(
Enjoy the time you spend here, & I hope you find a laugh or two along the way.
As for your car ?.......The transmission & differential may earn you some money back for the time you spent pulling it out of the paddock...And surely some other bits & pieces too...
It honestly sounds like you need a new drawing board to start from however.
Dobranotz,
Rastus

Depending on your skill you might be able to save her, if you're a full on body guy. Even if you aren't, sounds like you got a good collection of parts! Keep an eye out and maybe find another car with less body damage and make a good car! That's what I have done over the years!
Once you get a Mercedes sorted out it can last you a VERY long time if reasonably kept up!
