I am in need of ALOT of parts for my '75 240D project car. Most, I've found sources for, but there are a few that are proving elusive.
First off; Does ANYBODY make repair panels for these chassis'? I need floorpans first and foremost, with a possible need for fenders and doors as well. Here in smalltown ohio, when you call junkyards asking about Mercedes parts, they immediately hang up on you. I'd really prefer steel floors, but if I have to, I could probably work some fiberglass magic, and make it passable; or at very least, keep my feet from scraping the pavement.
Second; Any idea where I could find door glass for this car? The driver side rear window was shattered, and long gone before I even knew about this German Tank of an automobile. I've considered removing the passenger side window, and using is as a template for a plexiglass/lexan replacement, but I'd really prefer actual glass for originality's sake.
If you'd like to hear the story of how I wound up with this car, go ahead and ask. It's a story long enough to start another thread!
