It can be tough finding some middle ground;especially if you are naturally hard on yourself. I just came in from looking over a friend's beater

'91 500SL and I know how besides myself I would be if it were my car in the condition that it's in. But yes, in the eye of the overwhelming majority of the population, it would be considered in need of a marginal but not eye brow raising amount of improvement and I know how carried away I would get trying to correct it to how I'd like it if if it were mine. If I'm approached to do work on it, I should keep that in mind.
