Primer? That's original MB faded paint!
It's very clean. I found 2 small rust areas. 1 under the rear fender down by the tank and one in the front wheel well.
It was hit at some point. Driver side rear door is showing a bit of green paint in a few spots and the driver side front door is a bit off... works but could use a shim.
Overall, extremely clean for a 54 year old midwest car.

There is a white Mercedes at a fair muffler shop by my house at plainfield and lagrange rd. looks to be about the same year and condition as yours! I'll snap a pic next time I go past there. What year is yours by the by?

i decided i don't want to build a kit. i can't get the rtr trail finder 2 . i will send it back. i ordered a rtr vaterra assender . i wanted something that performs good , has a front battery mount and has scale looks and is a rtr. that fit the bill. I used to have a rtr axial scx10 honcho. it was great. just didn't look scale enough for me.
