IHC, where are you located? No mention in the post view here. I am thinking that you are in in the United States, but I could be wrong.

I have a 1987 300TD (OM603) that was being driven daily until it was hit this week. I would keep it for a repower project in a 4x4 as you are planning, but I am moving and not able to act on that desire right now.

Check out the classifieds section here for info. The car is located in Winchester, Va.

Good luck with your project.
