For ANY restoration, expect to pay 2-3x the amount of the car itself to get it "restored" hehe... unless restoration talaga hobby mo, dont bother, di matatapos ang gastos unless ok pa sya to begin with.

Meron na kong restored MB300D (W123 body). It was done by Paintronix in Marikina.

Unless you want to do a full 'authentic/factory correct' restoration, then you shouldn't really be spending that much. Depending on vehicle condition, allot at least Php 100K for restoration.

In my case, I just had it restored to a level where it can be a practical alternative to my other vehicle. To hell with factory-correctness, I put in an alarm, MP3 HU, subwoofer and other creature comforts to make life on the road more pleasant.
