This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is back on Bartercard Marketplace 🛞 https://mybc.bartercard.com.au/opportunities/34221

It still presents well cosmetically, has the hard top, factory alloy wheels and the engine cranks — but after specialist assessment, it is best suited as a restoration project, donor vehicle, parts car or possible export opportunity.

Available for T20,000 Bartercard + $2,000 cash (or equivalent in BTC / ETH).

So I self-inserted myself into somebody else's car project...
And look, I love projects. I thrive with troubleshooting,
But when the initial issue ends up being a dead battery before the ride-along, it really takes the wind out if my sails. The car's from the 90s, so at least the electrical issues are manageable with diagrams, screwdrivers, and a multimeter.

I'm stoked that they have the FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL for the car. Chilton and Haynes I still swear by, but the nutcases who made the car also helped make the book, so it's primary source for the fuckery I will encounter.

EDIT: Thanks for all the boosts, but I've reached the point where im angry enough at both the fediverse and people in general that I don't think I'll sell them after all, im just going to send both to scrap (yes, im angry enough to trash two really good vehicle bodies out of spite)

Does anyone on fedi in the US Pacific Northwest want a 1989 Toyota Van project (needs and ecu and maybe wiring work) or a 1991 Subaru Justy (motor is rebuilt out of the car, it needs another justy to take the oil pump from). Im located in Oak Grove Oregon just south of Portland.
