I am looking at rescuing a c110 240k sedan from a bloke I know. Has been sitting in his yard for a long time. Think it will not cost much to get it off him. Looks like there is plenty of rust low in many of the panels, roof down to below windows seems ok. Chrome strips have almost rusted off bonnet and boot. I am not afraid of rust repair and have a good mate to paint. Are there any things or places I should look for that would make a car like this unrestorable? Would prefer to find something better condition but my options seem to be very limited. Thanks

will check condition but wont be much

Need pics!

Will try now.

With a good clean, all seats except drivers should come up pretty good. It was stacked with rubbish and old jumpers etc.

degrease and a gurney with show what your working with

Great buy for $250. Now to see how great! Good find

Maybe good parts car, is it time to look for a better body?

Ooo yuck. How goods your welding haha

Not too worried about most of it but around the bottom of the rear window is almost gone. Looks like it would be a pretty tricky area to fix?

Ooo yuck. How goods your welding haha

Kinda what I was thinking.

I suppose if you've got the skills and time anything is possible....but even though it looks bad you might be able to copy that lower section

With my first project that was rusted out we managed to cut and shut a tricky part of the wheel well but at the end of the day even if you do a good job it prob needs panel beating and a lot of work to get it great. So with mine I opted to find a better shell. All depends how much time you have.

Shells that far gone can even get hard welding in new bits when the steels so thin

Ouch.
