Why worry? Do what makes you happy.
We have seen imperfect cars go for big money on BAT.
Maybe try not to alter things in such a way that they cannot be put back
to original if someone ultimately wants to go that route, but neither of
these cars is a relatively perfect specimen, given you have described
them both as being in "sad shape", so why not do whatever you want with
them?

I have a couple of coupes. Both in sad shape but one is solid with very little
rust. The good one is a US spec 1963 220SE automatic, the extremely rusty one
is a euro spec 1967 250SE with floor mounted 4 speed manual.
I need to get the rusty 250SE out of my garage to make room. It’s very far
gone and I don’t have the time to restore it. I’d like to swap its beautiful
euro headlights onto the 220SE. What do you all think? Is it straightforward?
Is the wiring the same? Is this an ok thing to do from an originality
standpoint?
I’m also thinking about swapping the four speed into the 220. This would be a
pretty big undertaking and I’m not sure if I’m up to it. Again, originality
wise what do you all think?
When I’m done I’d like to sell the 250 off. Hopefully someone wants to restore
it!
