Congrats!  Appears we suffer from the same disease. 

Under that dust lurks some beautiful blue. 

Fairing appears to be of the LT variety.

Factory service manual available on MB.

Barn finds are the best IMO. Something about the hunt and then the find and then the challenge of bringing it back to life! Enjoy and good luck.

200k and it runs.  Must have been well taken care of, bet there are some good stories lurking under that dust.

Hope to clean today. Kind of an aqua blue.
Came with all cases.

200k, huh.  Someone broke it in for you.  Looks like a nice, serious mile muncher.  That color is nice.
