Anyone know where to buy W123 Floor boards?

I see perfectly good cars with rusty floors. I wanted to find out how much if available the floor boards sell for. also what the labor may run in welding them in. Thanks for your help.

As Roy said, check with Phill first.

This site is in Germany, so shipping could be a deal killer. It is in German so may have to run it through the Google translator. I ran it through, so see if what I past is in english.

This place has repair panels, give them a call for MB parts.

Another option is to cut out some floors from good cars in PNP.we have them out here on the west coast getting crushed daily with zero rust.

I cut the DS floor out of 240 at the PNP. I think it cost $30. LOTS of work cutting it out, fitting it and welding it in place. It would probably be cheaper to buy a car from the west coast.

StaggerLee,
It would be interesting and probably useful to others if you described/drew/showed pictures --- where you cut to do that...
If you did it again ... would you cut in the same place ?
What was the hardest part of the job ?
What method/s did you use to attach the cut out pan to your car ?

I got mine here:

http://www.kkmfg.com/index.php

W123 parts are not on the catalog - but they have them.

Excellent quality. They are the floors in my 85 300D. The process is a LOT OF WORK.
