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.

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

In effect, 'sounds like paying somebody to take it?
Good point. More than $1500 worth of work currently being done on it, with a
$1500 price tag?
Maybe he's just mathematically

I am not learning what needs to be screwed down to make the vibration
stop. Went under Gump and did the transmission mount as well as the
front hold down. No impact.
Will have to grasshopper on the car some more before I do more stupid
wrench tricks, like redo the whole front end.

This is true. My $1300 1983 300SD is now $2800 after $200 worth of seats

the AC compressor, vac lock pump and external water leaks to fix yet which

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

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

I suspect that Gump is the exception, much as the frankenheap is.
And this SL. I'm into it about $50 so far. But a lot of time,
most of it actually somewhat optional. If you don't mind driving
a heap.
