How does this compare with a similar fully functional car in the market?

    You check the damage done to the car at the bonnet. After evaluation that's when you know if the engine has been damaged. If it has you put that into consideration. If it has no damage and it can start... Then that's a good sign.

    Great restoration, but when building a car always check the dimensions online, especially Mercedes, you can quickly tell the body guys don't know that the side lines are usually sharp, not curve from the front to end. This helps with aerodynamics, From front door to back, the sides usually have a sharp line that goes all the way to the back, most cars you've rebuilt don't get that line back. It's good to consider since is a physics thing not decorative, could be affecting speed, cornering or even breaking in some instances...
