Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Floor Boards, Frame, and Rust on 71 220D

I am getting a second opinion. With a unibody I think you can save it so long as there is enoigh good steel left.

Well I found out I have a unibody. It is $5000.00 to restore.

I am going to get a second opinion because the guy did not put it on the hoist.

I am certain I cannot poke holes through anything but the steel looks discolored all under there. I really am hoping this car makes it besides this issue the engine is great, trans is good, body is not otherwise in bad shape and I love the noise the engine makes.
