W124 230 E Saloon

[E55BOF]

Not for me, but I came across this:

1992 Mercedes-Benz E Class 230 E 4dr Auto [W124] SALOON Petrol Automatic | eBay

 

[ALFAitalia]

NIce.....apart from the steering wheel mod and hideous wheels!!!

Hard to imagine why anyone thought either of those things were worth doing.

A sensible dealer would whip them off, flog them, and fit something suitable to the likely buyer.

And take a chance of what you find hiding behind the clading once thats removed ...

 

[E55BOF]

Replacing the steering and road wheels wouldn't need any cladding removed.

No but when you do remove the clading, you might find a horror story at the rear of them, especially the sill covers

jacking points is a fairly easy repair on those, did mine ,but the rear subframe mounting isnt often writes the car off

This is what killed my last two W124's. I was gutted as they were both sound otherwise. Can the subframe/mounting points be repaired? Is it not doable at all or just that it's a huge job that would cost a fortune?
