Austin, my signature doesn't mention "my" Benz simply 'cause I don't have one yet.

As soon as my van sells (probably soon), I've been speaking to a board member about buying his '85 300D (W123), so I've been acting under the assumption that I'll be getting that car.
Also, how cheap is "cheap"? And are they a bolt-on-bolt swap?
BTW, I ask all these questions just 'cause I"m trying to learn about these cars as much as possible...especially before I get one. I'd just like to know how feasible doing this will be once I get my car.
