I've been using the site and FB group for a good while to troubleshoot/find info but haven't been posting about my 300 and I'm planning on getting a few things done with it so I figured I'd make an introduction post.
This is my 83' 360 GLE saloon (B19A), I bought it in June of last year after seeing it on car and classic and had it sat in the garage for half a year before I passed my test and got it insured in january.
I'm 18 and in Cumbria, it's my first car and I'll hopefully be keeping it a long time
It has some rust just under the window on the n/s rear door and a few scrapes left by someone with a trailer on my street, but other than that it's basically rust free and has held up great.
The previous owner posted about the car prior to my purchase here:

It needs a little attention to the bodywork, and I'll be fixing most of it in the coming months. I did attempt to find a breaker with the same paint code so I could clean up the trailer damage but it seems like I'll be going a different route.
I'll be making a project thread soon to detail everything I plan to do with the car and show its progression over time
