I have posted about the hidden rust that I have been uncovering on my 85 300D. To recap, I started off noticing some rust on the inner rear wheel arches. Then I checked under front carpets and found floorpan to door sills rusted. PLus some rust on floorpan. Then found more on passenger side firewall to cabin wall joint. And more at front end of rockers.

There is a guy who will do the weld repairs for me, but it will probably get into $3k range and I won't know if we have got it all (without stripping all undercoating).

I think it is best to just sell it as-is. But what is it worth?

1985 300D
- 420k km on chassis, <100k km on replacement engine rebuilt 2001.
- Transmission & rest of drive train seem good.
- Exterior sheetmetal, chrome and paint excellent (repainted 7 years ago)
- New front fenders installed when repainted.
- Interior very clean - just one defect on driver side seat.
- Car runs very well and no known mechanical problems.
- A/C disconnected


More pictures here (just after repaint, but still looks same)
Post your diesel!

Some, but not all, of the rust:
