1972 350SL
I bought a 1972 350SL a couple
months ago and it has a great running engine, straight body but needs paint and some interior work. So far I’ve been doing some of the easy stuff and hunting for interior parts but it’s been a total blast driving the wife around some of the back roads around where I live. speaking of which, I live in northern California, Easy Bay Area.

Looking for a paint shop which has been really hard to find one not trying to charge 10k or more so if anyone has any suggestions or leads let me know.

As this is a UK forum, I doubt many form members have had thier cars bodywork done in your neck of the woods.
But good luck!
