Depending on whether you really have a "TD" (station wagon), the sway bars may be beefier and worth swapping. I put 1994 E420 sway bars in my 1995 E300. Remember to grab all the rubber mountings also; better yet, buy new ones. The E420 sway bars aren't that much bigger but stiffness is proportional to the 4th power of the diameter so a little bit makes a big difference. If you have a real TD your sway bars may already be that size.

Check the alternator; it probably will be ~115 Amps, worth grabbing. Look over the suspension and grab any links, arms, struts, etc., that look like they are "newish."
