Mark-

My 82 240D was originally a Northern Virginia car and has similar issues. Of course, the trailing arm and front fenders can be replaced, eliminating those problems and the floor can be easliy patched. The transmission will not work well with a TURBO 300D. If the car is otherwise mechanically sound, I would go for it and look for manual transmission parts to swap in.

We would enjoy having you here on the diesel forum.
