Just got a 87' 300E, need some suggestions!

[DR88]

My grandma gave me her 300e a couple weeks ago, and it needs some work done.

1) the passengers seat is stuck and wont slide back. everything else works (tilt, and the back of the seat). This just happened today when i decided to move it all the way foward to vacuum when i slide the control backwards, you can hear the motor give a punching sound (hard to explain)

2) the radio has the infamous dashes, and i dont have the card with the code.

3) The sunroof doesnt work, im guessing the motor is broken, and i would like to know how to replace it, if its not too costly

4) the front right headlight is out, and i was wondering what xenon/halogen brands work good with mb, keeping in mind, cost is a big factor for a 16 year old.

5) i plan on getting all the struts replaced, but is there any way you can point the headlights up (they seem abnormally low)

6) fuel sending unit is bad

7) exhaust has a hole in it about 1 foot behind the muffler, stainless steel exhausts are expensive. any alternatives?


i know this is alot, but its my first car, and i want to get everything working so
the problems dont snowball.


Thanks a bunch
Dan
