01-26-2013, 02:34 AM #1Picked up a '74 240D with a 4-speed, it will be my daily driver in the interim until I get my transmission swapped in the w123. It has a clean body, interior isn't bad, and unknown miles on the engine. Pictures to come sometime tomorrow.

I'm surprised the fender buckled, since I was hit square from behind. Didn't do shit to the lady's truck, other than 2 small dents in her bumper from the rubber blocks on my rear bumper
Never had this happen before.
Anyway, I took the car to the best body shop in town earlier (partly because my dad knows the people over there) to get an estimate, and they said its definitely fixable and are gonna call me back with a price. I'm hoping they decide it was the lady's fault, it was questionable because I had just pulled out onto the road and was getting up to speed when she hit me, although I'm pretty sure she was speeding and on the phone, and also her brake marks didn't start until after where I pulled out from so she had plenty of time to see me and either go around or start slowing down earlier. Gah fuuuuuuuuuuuuuurk this is irritating.

Wow, wrecked it already!
With the limited view the pic has, it doesn't look too bad. Hopefully you can get it back on the road. There is a straight w115 at my local yard i can get parts off of for you if needed.
Gota love Mercedes Diesels!

If the insurance company decides to fix the car I'm gonna pay the difference to have the whole car repainted, thinking about going with the a two-tone, either white or off-white over the original navy blue, what do y'all think?

01-31-2013, 03:40 PM #15Yeah my insurance people are talking to the body shop I took the car to for an estimate to decide if they want to fix it or what. The whole rear passenger fender is shifter forward to where the door almost rubs on it, and the trunk lid is all out of alignment and won't stay closed, but they told me it is definitely fixable. I guess they have a giant machine that pulls the car out straight over the course of several hours, and then they have a body guy take care of the rest.

the car in the thread ,that's a minor ding compared to the horror of the light blue car ,it was hit so hard the battery had jumped up in its tray and dinged the hood from the inside -ouch! the fuel tank was nearly folded in half, full of 25 year old diesel (which got put in my tractor ,it went like a rocket with very little black smoke -good stuff)

With your damage, and what axel606 went through, im thinking id be better off building some kind of tubular frame and welding it into the trunk of my 74 to limit damage if it gets hit.
Bet you love that pull start though.
My favorite feature
1974 240D 617 turbo swap, W201 5-speed, in the works project
1983 240D 616 stock, DD
1989 Chevy Astro, 617 turbo swap, T5 5-speed, 4.56 diff, work van
this is an upsetting thread. I can't believe your 74 already got smashed!

Insane. They're paying out $7,200 for your old ass car? That's awesome! I mean, you car looks like a 7k example, but most insurance companies see anything older than 2005 and say screw it

Will do.
Also, apparently the insurance company decided this whole incident was "100%" my fault. While I may not be able to prove it was the lady's fault, I am fairly confident I can prove it wasn't entirely my fault because there is a blind spot at the intersection from where somebody decided to put a power pole that blocks the view of oncoming traffic. Fresno and Madera counties (Madera county is where this whole ordeal occurred) are pretty notorious for planting large bushes, signs, trees, really tall mailboxes, etc. at intersections where the line is a little way back from the corner so you cannot see oncoming traffic at all, and then they plant motorcycle cops on the other side of said object who write tickets for going over the line to get a better view. Its quite a racket they have going on

Well, it left a puddle after I moved it to a different spot in the yard. And as for the rescue part, I'm planning an engine rebuild in about two months (after I save up enough for all the stuff) and also hopefully gonna add turbo power at the same time
