86 300SDL versus 300SD
Does anyone know if there is a difference between the 86 SDL and a standard 300SD front door and front quarter panel? Thank you!

I don't know for sure. Depending on the year of SD you might need to transfer switches and things. Consider body panels from an 86-87 420- or 560SEL which are a direct fit and more likely color match; trim, wiring, switches and all.

If you are talking about the fender ("front quarter panel"), then the only possible difference would be the lower cladding or other optional trim. As far as I know, all W126 models from '81-'91 either gas or Diesel, long or standard, are the same from the "B" pillar forward (as far as sheet metal is concerned).

The doors are the same and will bolt up. I noticed a difference in the rubber acordian that houses the wiring between the 84 & 85SD. I don't know that there are differences between say 85SD & 86SDL.

Everything is the same except the moldings. Those are held in by clips.

Out of curiosity, did the door handles change when the Gen II came out in '86? I don't recall if the 126 did, but I know the 107 did. If they didn't, safely disregard my question!
