Thanks, will for sure check out your blog. Love the W123! With Benz guys it's always 'that was the last real one built like a tank' and mostly they are able to settle on the 123 fitting that bill.
Take your time with that restoration! This project in total took less than 3 weeks but the time was spread across 7 years, 2 bodies, 3 engines and 2 workshop locations meanwhile I moved 400 miles away during half time so that stretched things out tremendously.
