I think that's what he meant - keep the 4 speed from the 240D to mate with
the 617 engine of your choice.

You'd do best to find a rusty 240D with a 4spd and combine the 2 wagons into
one with a 4spd, that'd be pretty nifty.

You need to sell your poky wagon and buy a rusty turbo wagon and swap out
the good engine (or drive train) into the rust free chassis with the fried
engine.

Good point. More than $1500 worth of work currently being done on it, with a
$1500 price tag?
Maybe he's just mathematically

It sounds like we're about even. They will both be $3500-$4K cars when
completely done (are they ever actually done, NO!). If they never needed to
be worked on, we wouldn't have this wonderful list.

Hi,
300sd 1982 AZ. car purchased in Chicago for $1700. as a second owner 117,000

I found an In. phone bill in the glove box.

Nothing is worse for these cars than deferred maintenance. They will hit
you for double what the repair would have cost if it wasn't let go. For
example, if the AC compressor on my SD was replaced when it seized, it would
have cost little more than the compressor itself to straighten things ou

This is true. My $1300 1983 300SD is now $2800 after $200 worth of seats
and $1300 for the suspension, turbo and other misc repairs. I still have
the AC compressor, vac lock pump and external water leaks to fix yet which
will add a few more hundred$s
