I will compromise in every area except the body.  I don't do bodywork, nor am I 
planning on learning to.  I consider bodywork an art form, and I am not an 
artistic person.
   
  I can RR bolt on stuff like bumpers and the like, but it if involves 
welding, bondo, paint, ect., it's off the list.

There's more to welding than making things (that) look good!
Most of what I weld ends up looking like something the cat
would want to bury.  Pretty useful tool in the arsenal, though.

Back to the subject line - '92 300D 2.5 turbo from Kaleb - the first
tank (actually a half tank), over 280 miles, 180 of which was 75 mph
highway, the rest mixed town and commuting, yeilded 35 mpg. Very nice!
I don't expect this to be accurate, the sample was too small, I filled
at different stations, etc., but it's probably ball park.
What a great car!

The ACC is a little schzoid, but it probably just needs a PBU re-solder job.

 What would you charge to swap out an engine in a 1983 300TD from an
 identical donor car?   (I would allow you would get to keep the bad engine
 and the rusty wagon)

Pretty common out this way too. Most things don't rust out here, but 
engines get wiped out from neglect.
