I am starting to get my garage ready for a 300D rebuild. I am pricing it as:

300.00 Head Job
200.00 injectors
300.00 pistons/sleeves (oversize)
300.00 bearings
200.00 Seals, gaskets, etc.
0.00 Machine shop for redrilling
300.00 miscellaneous

$1400 Total

Unfortunately the used car market is flooded with 100K mile
Volvos, Toyotas, Corollas, Hondas and yes MERCEDES !!
QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THROWAWAY the
car, they may be right.

I am thinking the W123 cars were the last cars worth rebuilding....
