NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

these cars ARE NOT hardto fix. They take a little bit of patience but with everyone helping you here youll have it fixed up in no time!!!!! You can get alot of these parts used from a dismanlter for european cars. Stick with it, I thought the same thing with my 300SD but had it fixed up for HALF the cost of what i thought it would cost. MIne had more problems then urs too! give it a little moe time....
