Really? That's the most trashed you've seen? Good lord, in my cars, you're usually up to your knees in junk and wrappers!

Post a picture of the worst diesel you've seen that's still driving would be better...

The worst I've seen would have to stem from my Tires Plus fiasco.

TIRES PLUS!!! Unbelievable what I found today... is this really possible?

Anyway, the idiot who nearly destroyed my car drove this.

Though I have not seen this car in person, it seems worse.

The only other W123 I can think of was a friend of mine's grandparents. It was T-boned on the passenger side by a large truck, bad enough to where the b pillar was bent in 5 inches or so. They continued drive it for 10 more years.

Solid 82 300D, good motor, dogs freaked out on the interior. 2 shepherds, 1 jet black. Nice dogs.

This was my 1979 300SD when I got it. The was no front clip on it and the wiring harness to the front of the car had been cut. There was no exhaust system and the car needed ether to start and would smoke horribly when it ran. There was no alternator or belts either--and the guy said I could drive it home! The entire engine compartment was covered in sludge. The windshield was cracked, the windows were stuck down, and the interior was full of water. The seats were sunken in and the springs were rusty.

But, despite all this the car is now beautiful and has been a daily driver for over a year. A valve adjustment, oil change, change of all filters, cleaning of the ALDA tubing, and repair of the wiring harness has the engine running well and with much power. I use B99 biodiesel.

It is also having the power windows, sunroof, and climate control converted to manual. Euro-spec headlights are soon to be installed. The heated seat option will be added from another 1979 300SD as well. The underside of the trunk sports a reflective triangle. This car was made with the optional rear headrests. I also now have the complete W116 factory shop manual set.
