123: Firewall bushing for throttle linkage busted

Hi, the throttle linkage bushing on the firewall is broken on my 1984 300D Turbo Diesel. The joint in question is between the vertical rod(connected to the accelerator pedal, I presume) that rises parallel to the firewall and the rotating linkage that connects the rest of the throttle linkage. The whole piece will fall apart if you touch it wrong. It slips out of the bushing in the firewall occasionally. I do not drive this car at all, by the way, but I'm preparing it to be later this year. I think I got a great deal on this car ($900) because the previous owner did not spot this linkage problem, and thought the engine needed major work. I hope it doesn't. I've put 14 miles on the car since I got it.

Does anyone have any idea which parts need to be replaced, and where I can get them? Is this a common problem? There isn't a tutorial for this issue.. is there? Thanks!

In any of my posts, it is safe to assume
that I'm talking about this car.
