Haha, well that henna interior went into my 240D. it was just too nice to sell individually. My 240D went from a 5.5 interior to a 9.1 interior. The color is great, it just needs to be buffed out to really get a shine going, it is just bland right now.

The interior on the 300D is a 8.5, the only complaint i have are the floor carpets, they have some stains on them (but i have some from my old 240D interior that are better) and the dash has 3 cracks in it. I have the dash from my 300D, that has no cracks but i dont know what car to put that into. i might put it in the 300D and get a dash cap for the 240D.

Ya the hood pad looks new, it is very thick and not made of the crappy foam material that dries, then cracks, and then falls off.

Why do so many people like the old radio, for its "Stock" look? certainly not performance!!


Ya the photo that was flipped, i used MS paint to scaled down the pics and when i flipped it, i also inverted it by accident. Left it to see if anyone would notice. LOL

Also, no one has mentioned anything about it not having a passenger mirror. i know it was an option on the 240D's and must have also been one on the 300D's in the early 80's.

I think I have a manual right side mirror if you want.

The screeching may just be a loose fan belt.

If he doesn't want the mirror, what do you want for it?
