Re: [MBZ] the free? 240D
I think that changing sheet metal and the rad would be MUCH easier than pulling the engine/tranny out of both cars and swapping them. It may very well have some hidden frame damage which would necessitate the engine/tranny swap. Either way, the stick would be much funner to drive. Usually you let the condition of the rust and paint determine which is the donor, and what gets donated. Engine swaps are easy compared to much bodywork. Tranny type swaps are also doable, so long as it's not a column shift vs floor! -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] the free? 240D
He said the driver side of the 240 is toast from the fender and driver door. That would make the integral side view needed instead of the stalk side view the 220 has. He could use the old door and fender, but the better body seems to be the 220 not the 240. My car, I would drop the engine and trans into the 220.

Re: [MBZ] the free? 240D
Is it also a 115? Why not swap its engine into your 220D? -Curt Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2006 23:54:21 -0800 From: kevin kraly [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MBZ] the free? 240D To: Mercedes mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=iso-8859-1; reply-type=original I got a little more info on the car. It's a pea green manny tranny 240D with a little more crunch 'n munch than just the rad. It needs some fixing/replacement done to the driver's side front fender, front door and the rear passenger's window. This is not so bad, but the kicker is that they mentioned a price of $50 for the car, keys and title. I told them that I would accept their ORIGINAL OFFER for me to have the car for nothing. I'm waiting to find out if they decide to go for it. It's not cool to first say it's free and then offer it for $50. Perhaps the MB Gods are thinking it over?

Re: [MBZ] the free? 240D
KEVIN!!! Wake up and toss the man $40 for his troubles. You will have a parts mobile to provide glass and fender, as well as door (upgrade with mirror). Or just take the 616 out and throw it into the 220 and be a GOD yourself with a stick and some extra oomph. At the PnP the engine alone is $145 Just my $0.02 On Thursday, March 9, 2006, at 11:54 PM, kevin kraly wrote: I got a little more info on the car.

Re: [MBZ] the free? 240D
I agree, if you want the car then cough up before someone else grabs it. I know I'd regret it if I lost a deal like that.
