remanufacturing an MB

a few years back there was an article on R&T on a shop that specialized in completely stripping and rebuilding bmw 2002's and volvo 24x's. i also came across a shop here in NJ that did the same thing with VW Beetles. in effect, you would have an "as new" condition car of those respective makes at what i thought was a reasonable cost.

i wonder if this is feasible for w124's. might anyone hazard a guess as to how much such an undertaking would cost - assuming that there is little or no bodywork involved? candidates would be w124 that currently cost under $10k. car prices are just so ridiculous nowadays. i believe that a "remanufactured 300e/e320" would be a much better choice than camry's/maximas and what have you's, that all cost $20k - $30k!
