1988 MB W460 230GE - parting out.

The truck is  '88, the odometer is showing 75K km (so 175, 275 ...).

It is Puch, not Mercedes, kind of rare body stile with rear barn doors, only 2 front seats, divider behind the front seats and one rear folding bench seat. 

The WIN is VAG46023817902778, and it comes with ownership/ clear title.

Here is the list of the parts that are good to be used and will be offered for sale:

- solid frame with little surface rust, solid and original rear coil spring and shock mounts.

- front and rear axles (unknown ratio, tags are missing), both with lockers, front axle with STUDS. No leaks from the seals, no noises. 

- suspension and steering - the coil springs not broken, I dont see plays in the steering but did not check throughly.

- all three driveshafts.

- 5 good steel wheels - I think they are 16x5.5 but will check later.

- transfer case - works on all 2, 4wd and low.

- engine - 2.3 gasoline M102, started from the first crank, doesnt smoke, runs very quite and doesnt miss, seems to be very good.

- Radiator - looks very good, no oil cooler (its 230), no leak.

- Fuel tank - metal, looks pretty good, doesn't leak.

- 5 speed manual transmission, goes through the gears good, no noises. * I might be keeping it, unless I receive a offer I cant refuse.

- Power steering gear box - do not see a play or leaks. Planing on keeping it - unless I receive a offer I cant refuse.

- Front tow pin bumper (no pin) - straight and solid and rear split bumpers. *I might keep the end caps.

- Body - total loss.The only salvageable parts are the front right door - with some rust but repairable; and the barn doors - some rust but repairable. 

- No windows left at all. Manual front door window regulators - both good. All door hinges are good.

Both front seat belts - with the anchors. Seats are bad, maybe repairable, the bases are good .

- The central console is good and not broken, the dash seems fine, the central trim piece where the radio goes looks fine, no ashtray, the heater controls look fine too. The door cards and pockets look allright.

- The spare tire holder is nice and not seized.

Thats it pretty much what I saw today, maybe there are some small pieces left not mentioned - just ask.

Pictures will be added by request,

Its too cold here now. Really bad timing to start dissembling this truck, so if you want some parts but can wait - I will really appreciate it.

Titus. Are you in Ottawa? I'm far but not impossible. Near Orillia. Might be interested in fuel tank and all related. Straps, sender and anything else that needs to be with it. What's your asking? Do you know anywhere near to get plastic tank?

RE: 1988 MB W460 230GE - parting out.

Titus. Todd here in Orillia Ontario. I have a 280GE 1985 w460 SWB. Looking for the heater fan or complete housing with working fan and heater core in it. I have housing and two good heater cores but the fan is toast and needs replacing. I believe they were made by BEHR and are a tight profile unit. The front is visible at the bottom of the fresh air well under the hood. Mercedes wants $400 and four by four club wants most of that plus shipping and duty across border. I hope you might be able to do a little better. Kind regards.

Doesn't anybody ever update or delete on here? We're not on here looking for history. We want parts.
