Ouch Rob ~
I'm glad you weren't hurt by flying glass ~ I had the hood of a Honda come sailing at me on the freeway once ~ luckily for me I was driving an old VW Beetle as it came through the windshield like a scythe and would have decapitated me but for the narrow windshieled old Beetles (1960) had ~ it jammed between the posts about 6" from my neck .
Sobering to say the lest .
The asshat who's car it flew off of , saw what happened and took off running .
This red W-123 has very nice paint and body ~ no rust anywhere , it's been re painted .
Most of the inside door panels were there , carpets etc.
I forgot to look at the dashboard ~ I need a couple but am not really looking forward to taking one apart on my own car....

I wish this car was closer, as I could use some parts for my red '85 300D.
Right now waiting for new MB windshield rubber to arrive, as something
hit me hard in the windshield last week. Not sure what it was, as it was
night and I never saw it, yet it nicked the hood, broke the plastic bolt
cover on the wiper and smashed in my windshield. It was quite shockingly
loud when it happened.

Pick-A-Part where there were two 240D's and one lonely '83 300D in Tomato red that was really nice , I found rolling papers in it and roach burns all over the seats so I guess some stupid assed stoner jerkwad got it and ran it into the ground or got it impounded ~ this car was so clean and shiny , I could have sold it for $2,500 NOT RUNNING in about 5 minutes......
