Oh my goodness, I always look forward to Saturday morning to see what you are detailing but this really did it for me… I drive an ‘82 300td and I love these old Mercedes wagons! The OM617 engines in these are highly coveted by both classic Mercedes enthusiasts and Jeep off-roader engine swappers because of their stout construction, low end torque and good mileage, so it doesn’t surprise me that the engine has been cannibalized. What does surprise me is that A: Someone let this beautiful car get in such a state and B: that it hasn’t been totally parted out. If it weren’t for the rust, this car would be in pretty great shape. The 14” alloy Barock (AKA Bundt) wheels are in really good condition as is the trim, grille and light surrounds. Even the dash cap and interior seem to be in really serviceable condition. It makes me happy that you pulled this out and did this car right after someone did it so wrong… I am going to go wash my car and give it a hug.

Oooh! This brings back so many memories. My father used to have a '83 Mercedes 300D. It wasn't a wagon, but the interior was almost exactly the same as this one. We travelled from Spain to Sweden (and back) in the summer of 1990 in that car. I suppose this one is too bad to be restored, but I hope some of your other 'rescues' have made it. Is is possible to know it or watch any restoration (after your detailing) in a different channel? Keep up the good work!

I am a retired GM Dealership mechanic. I prefer American vehicles, but I know that the materials they use on some of these "Mercedes" is very good. I have owned 5 vehicles in my life {67 yrs old} and at this time still own the last two. We live in a throw away world. You are showing that many of these vehicles can be worth fixing up. Thank you for that. The last 3 vehicles I purchased were NEW. I have the 1990 chev pickup and 2016 chev cruze. Clearly a good body man and new drive line, this would be a nice ride. As a mechanic I have seen some really gross vehicles and I was expected to work on them. I also noticed "mice" do not care if it is a Mercedes. In the shop we could tell just how cold winter is going to be by how many wiring harness were made into mouse nests.
