My husband and I are looking at a crashed 1988 300E. The
frame is intact, mostly just headlight and front fender
replacement along with some interior restoration - stuff we
can do ourselves. However, we were looking for a diesel
(to run on home-produced biodiesel). Is it possible to
swap the gas engine for a diesel with reasonable
modifications? I have never dealt with Mercedes before and
although I like the look and the durability, I don't want
to commit to something that won't turn out to be everything
I'm looking for. I'd appreciate any direction or resource
anyone might be able to provide.
