I don't know if anyone wants a project but my 83 240D was rearended. The bike
rack took most of the impact. It may be salvaged but I'm trying to get the
money from the insurance to fix the car. If not I may sell. It has 194k
original miles and runs strong. Tranny shifts perfect. Running on synthetic
fluid. The rear lights still work but the bike rack came down on the trunk.
Put a big V there. It's been running on Veg Oil since we got it 40k ago. Has a
Plant Drive kit I installed myself. It's in San Francisco. Could use an idler
arm and there is an exhaust leak in a pipe under the air cleaner that needs to
be welded. All the locks, trunk & fuel door open, close, lock & unlock. So the
vacuum is still good. You should see the other car. Both air bags deployed.
Steam from the radiator. They didn't drive home. We've gone 500 miles since
the accident. God Bless Mercedes Diesels. Lawrence Rhodes....
