1983 300D turbo-diesel OM617.952 ~260k miles. Mechanically refurbished daily driver with a beater body that I would like to sell whole, but probably has too many problems/rust to get a decent price. I don't have the time or budget to get it right, so I am thinking of parting it out then taking the scrap metal barge to China. I haven't even tried to list it on craigslist or anything yet.

I bought the thing a few years ago in poor shape and started refurbishing everything. Pretty much everything I fixed was with OEM parts from here and DieselGiant. It was my reliable daily driver for about 2 years. Hit a curb in icy conditions and it has pretty much been sitting since.

Stuff I replaced: fluids, filters, battery, tires, glow plugs, injection hand primer pump (new style Bosch), brakes (rotors, calipers, pads, clips, pins, pad sensors), front wheel bearings (bearings, caps, anti-static clip/pins), tie rod ends, air cleaner mounts, rebuilt many switches, etc etc etc
Has sunroof and block heater.

Problem areas: wheel well rust, damaged rocker panel area, front and rear windshields leak in certain rain conditions, rust on front passenger floor, rust in trunk quarters, antenna stuck, fuel guage sender was replaced but not correct scale for gauge, carpet dirty/stained, MB Tex worn/cracking in some areas, some wood trim pieces chipped, due for valve adjustment, battery is probably shot now, etc

It is stored in a barn about an hour away from where I live now, so I don't really want to mess with too much small stuff.

Any interest in the engine, brakes, axles, etc?

You guys.....

It's a habit I've gotten into for potentially large, long threads. Get all the info at the top with some meaningful separation and linkability.

I have been active in the Subaru community for a long time. I am no stranger to part-outs and hoarding warehouse inventory reductions (aka my spares and projects).

The good news is that you get active replies with no BS from someone who acts professionally and has over 10 years of perfect feedback. Hooray.

I will take this opportunity to mention again that the car is not convenient to access, so pictures and detailed information might take a couple weeks to get.
I can probably work something out if there is an immediate need and I can turn a profit on my two-hour, $20 commute.

Will you be selling the Injector Pump?

Bump. The car is listed for sale again locally.
If it does not sell in the next week I will pull the requested parts and sell the rest for scrap.

There is no mention of seat color. My drivers seat is palomino mbtex and shot. I may be intrrested in it for my 1982 240 D even if not un great shape. My seat, at best, has a seat back that is structurally ok. She is a daily driver to save fuel moneyuntil I retire. I could be happy enough with seat covers AND supportive seat.
