Good luck with the conversion. If it was me I'd be mostly worried about complicated vacuum lines for heat, doors, etc on the POS 420SEL. Everything else along with 300D ignition switch oughta be piece of cake.


Strange, I see more 420SELs around than 560SELs or 300SE/Ls...



You guys that like the 617 need to drive, then you'll want to own a 603 powered car. I love my L.
