A. I never did learn to weld (I know , it's embarrasing)

B. I can't even polish the car for the pain so body works is beyond me now .

The whole car's paint is fairly flat , no sahine and chips all over and so it really does need re painting .

If I'm careful , I can work it into my budget .

And I'm always yammering about it to prospective buyers .

My '84 300CD had some paint bubbles onder the rear window when I bought it several years (and much blood , sweat , Dollars & tears) ago , yesterday I looked at it growing ever larger and poked at the paint bubbles with my key , now I have a _HOLE_ rusted right through the body into the trunk =8-( .

I gotta find an _honest_ paint shop and get this car re sparayed before it's ruined .
