If you're careful, and there's enough blank space, you can cut new hole(s)
wherever you need 'em like I did in lower panel of my 124 for mobility
scooter charger, MB authentic rocker switch.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Interesting conversions about 124 wood,
OK so the whole car for 500 is not going to work, worth a shot, how about
the centre console wood work, I am forever trying to find decent wood work
for my TE but it's hard.
For instance the stuff in Oz is usually sunburnt and the varnish
cracks/fades.
The UK is a good source but most 124's didn't come with A/C hence no hole
for the controls. Or the bottom bit has no holes for power windows.
Seeing that I would like to upgrade to walnut it makes it harder, for
instance
http://www.starpartz.co.uk/products/w124-e-class-series-walnut-control-surround-trim.html
has all the top holes I need but no A/C.
This one has A/C but one of the top holes is in the wrong spot, although I
could shift one of the switches perhaps.

This is a good price

but I need the rest of the stuff as well.
Now apparently a lot of US spec 124's came with push button climate
control, which is not like my rotary knob set up.
What sort do you have in Oskar?
And yeah I might cough up shipping if the right stuff comes up.

A well at least I missed that curb cut:-)
So I take it there is structural damage?
Front suspension is pretty straight forward and relatively cheap to fix.
Just kinda annoying that a car which would be a very desirable model is
put out to pasture because of a little run in with something a bit more
solid than it.
Well, there is cosmetic damage, but the real problem is with the
sub-frame to which the front suspension connects. The mounting flanges on
the sub-frame that hold the right lower suspension parts (A-arm?) were
what hit the curb cut and are now very noticably bent backward.
To fix all that, one has to replace the sub-frame. To get the sub-frame
out, one needs to remove the engine. That's why my insurance company
totaled it.

who will give you 500 for Oscar if you ship it and I mean ship it
Not a chance, sorry. I'm sure it would cost more than 5 times that amount
just to ship it port-to-port.
