Hi Guys, As some of you might remember, my 300D met up with a deer last fall on my way home from work. Original thread: My 300D met a deer tonight. I sent the car off to a local body/paint shop for a complete repaint and repair of the damaged areas. Many parts were addressed, some listed: New MB Fenders Used hood/grille New hood pad Used upper core support Genuine Hella euro headlights Genuine Hella euro turn signals New door lock actuator Sunroof is fully functional again New Antenna grommet All new clips for the roof rails Fixed wiper fluid hoses/lines. New Sunroof seal Body shop texted me and said it was ready for pickup! Unfortunately I still need to clean up the garage so I have a place to put it! Certainly not going to just part it outside now! Its not quite ready to go back into daily driver duty. I still have a list of mechanical items to address. Here are some pics, thought you guys might like to see: W124 300D - After Body/Paint - Album on Imgur

Great that it has a new lease on life. My 91 was in an accident a while back and I got a freshly-painted roof and hood for my troubles.

Hopefully my W123 sedan will get the same treatment at some point in the next couple years.
