Looking for Advice on Undertaking a Restoration Vehicle
All,
I'm interested in buying a classic MB to do a restoration on. I've never done one before but have always wanted to. Since this will be my first, I wanted to get some opinions from those who have done so before.
Which model is the best to go for in terms of:
1. Parts availability (engine/tranny in particular)
2. Cost
3. Overall value upon completion
4. Dependability
5. Engine type
6. Transmission type
I would prefer a convertible model and one that runs leaving mostly body and interior work for me to do.
A budget would be up to a max of $25k total including initial buy and restoration work.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
