Mercedes 1983 Turbo Diesel, already running on BioDiesel. 260,000 mile Engine would be great for WVO conversion. Starts right up, no excessive smoke. I expect someone with Mercedes knowledge will come buy this car for the engine... and use the chassis to roll the engine to their shop?
The engine crossmember is broken on the drivers side and very stressed out on the non-drivers side. See photos. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!!! No accidents or anything, just potholes seem to be what killed this crossmember to much repeated stress is my best guess. (AKA highway 880)
I can deliver in the east bay area if near to Emeryville. The crossmember has been braced with high tension cable and is lightly drive-able at this time.
It will either need alot of welding and reinforcement or you should scrap it for parts. Whatever you do TAKE THE WHOLE CAR ONLY.
MAKE OFFER via Email, Thanks.
