1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL | weekendwarrier and michakaveli David was contacted to see what he could do with this, "diamond in the rough". The car has sat around for some time, and needed love. Being that I was going to be in town, a fan of older MB's, and eager to lend a helping hand, I was permitted to lend a helping hand to see what could be done to restore this classic tourer to some of it's former glory. Enjoy!
