Need advice on W115 parts to keep
Hi All,
I have a 69 220D with front damage that I must get out of my driveway. I just bought an 82 300DT and need the space. I was pondering repairing the 220D for over a year but this deal on the 300 was to good to pass up so I'm switching gears (and body styles). The car is really not worth bringing back (for me) and would like to retain as many parts and pieces as possible for near future/asap sale. So what should I keep? What is desireable and/or needed most? I realize that condition plays a huge part here. What should I take off and save? I want to strip the car quickly and get rid of whats left in the next week or so. I have lease limitations on what can sit in the driveway, thus the pressure to move it out... Forum users get first dibs- goes w/o saying!

What condition is the steering wheel in?
What color and condition is the interior? Tail lite lenses and front parking lite / headlite surrounds are hard to find in good shape. As usual, must say that it is too bad the car is not closer!!!

Steering wheel is excellent- no cracks, its black, horn ring fine, as well as pad.
Taillight lens clean- no cracks or blemishes Headlight assemblies bore the brunt of colision as did the fenders, hood, and grill. Interior is spoken for I think- its tan/palomino- excellent condition- no cracks or wear marks- strong padding and springs. Car was didplay quality before colision, now its just been sitting. I will pull all knobs, switches, lenses, handles, etc. Hard to find and dealer expensive things.

The interior, including the door panels and map pockets are spoken for. You still have not found these? How long have you been looking now? I have someone replacing their whole interior and so I'm selling mine as a whole. If it falls thru for some reason I'll let you know.

Its a pain to get to but the heater blower fan is notorious for going bad. I'd also pull the window regulators / glass if in good shape, the shifter boot, hubcaps, visors, and anything else I had room to store. Do some searching on ebay to see what sells...
