Hi, you guys have a sweet forum here, lots of info! I'm looking at a 82 300SD that was in a minor accident (head on), that busted the two engine mounts and I imagine the trans crossmember mount and left the engine shifted forward all the way up against the radiator.

My question is, is this a really bad thing to have happen, or can I just get new mounts jack up the engine and tranny and slide them back?

Here's what I can see: the fan is pressed into the radiator (doesn't appear to leak, still full and not wet), the fuel line is pulled off, looks like a couple other lines like a vacuum line, couldn't see the shifter linkage but it doesn't feel right, the throttle linkage is popped out of the fire wall, basically little things.

I just want to make sure it's just a matter of sliding things back and hooking things up. I imagine the drive shaft slides in and out of the back of the trans (correct me if I'm wrong I don't have much MB experience) so that shouldn't hold me up. I was reading other posts and it sounds like maybe I should check the oil cooler lines.

Any input would be very much appreciated, thanks!
