Rust Repair Advice
I have finally had time to have my friend (Body shop guy) take my 85 300SD into his shop and investigate and repair the rust on the rear windshield area. Please see the pictures below.
Does anyone know the best place to start looking for a donor car? He mentioned that the best plan would be to weld in a piece from another similar car instead of repairing. Any suggestions on where to go from here? Thank you in advance! http://s834.photobucket.com/albums/zz269/roysgti/?action=view¤t=photo2.jpg http://s834.photobucket.com/albums/zz269/roysgti/?action=view¤t=photo1.jpg

W123 - Advice needed on jack point rust
Here's how I welded a new piece in for a jack point. forum member joey.dale cut the piece for me. Maybe post in the wanted section to see if a southern member will be kind enough to chop a piece out of a parts car.

VSTECH, is your parts car still available? I sent you a few PM's with no response.
Does anyone else know of someone parting out a 300SD? I have yet to be able to find anyone else. Thanks in advance!
