Re: [MBZ] 1990 300D Prospect/Project? SCORE!!
Thanks! I’ll probably just make a list ‘o’ stuff I need and post it somewhere, as there have been a number of kind folks who have contacted me with offers of parts. As I may have mentioned previously, I am buying this car to put together a dependable daily driver for my oldest son, as he really misses his former 300E and he needs the economy of a diesel compared to driving the S420. I’m going to try and do this as cheaply as possible while doing my best to maintain the integrity and have it be a decent car, not a beater.

It’s not that expensive from the dealer. I buy most of my fluids from them except engine and gear oil.

Would probably be worth it. I tell you a car I regret not buying was one sold by Jaime friend Alvaro. It was a very vice blue on blue 95 e300. The timing was bad but I should have made it work.
