First off, the reason for the post here is because this car could end up as the facelift car for my 87 300D.... need opinions.

I'm torn here. I have the 94 E320 up in the air for the first time. Ready to drop the transmission (no reverse) Did another walk around on the car and can't decide if I should fix this car and drive it, or part it and use the front/interior in my 87 300D.

What I understand is that the front brakes would also go to the 87.

The good-

1. even with the little bit of sticky stale gas in it (sat for some time) it purrs.
2.Started right up, drove nice.
3. Interior is in really good shape with only the drivers seat showing any wear. Has an aftermarket Fuzz buster/cd changer installed. (do not know the radio code)

4. Even the A/C blows cold.
5. New Bosh Euro headlights.
6. New wire harness.
7. New head gaskets
8. brake fluid looks new.
9. was owned by a forum member that took extremely good care of it.
10 Aftermarket remote entry.
11. Heated (leather) seats. Don't feel like mbtex?


The bad-
1. Needs tires/front shocks for sure, maybe rear also but look newer.
2. was a northern car /NH Shows signs of salty winters.
3. 220k
4. Sat for some time due to reverse fail.
5. Needs new windshield
6. body rust. looks surface. signs of salt underneath but solid. Unprotected parts (bolts etc) rusted.
7. took a tree branch to the roof.
8. the no reverse issue of course...

I'm into this car very safe. so I can go either way and be just fine on it but man it's a hard call...

Here are pictures of the car... video coming as soon as youtube is ready with it...
