Be careful when buying 126 parts from a junkyard. There are more differences between an 83 and a 91 than you can imagine. If you read through the manual you will find little differences between model years that you would never think of. ex- door locking system was updated in 89 (I think thats the year..would have to look up to be sure). Interior parts between early and late are totally different except for maybe the dash cover. Even the window switches have a different style.

The door panel, dashboard, switches, rims etc. are all the same among the W126 series models.
Rim size (width) also changed around 88, I think. Antenna switch was deleted in '91. '86-'87 560's have horn selector in wood paneling. Door panels are of course very different between MY's. Not big things, but can ruin your day when you get new wood panel and it doesn't work in your car.
