Long story short, I bought a rear ended Orion Blue 03 C230K mainly as a donor car. I am taking the interior and swapping it into my Orion Blue 02 C230k. My car is in ridiculously poor shape. I also need a hood being my mom had an accident in mine. Taking the headlights off as well being these are cleaner than the ones I have. Also need the battery cover. Everything else, I will part with.

I figured I could post pictures as the transformation goes and anything else that may be needed in the near future. I am completely swapping out my interior so if there are any requests or recommendations, feel free.

I will update this as it goes.

The rest of the donor car.

No airbags deployed? What is the theory again?? They only go off if hit from the front? I remember someone mentioning something like that... but I can't remember.

WaveyKat

can i purchase the chrome Bazel/module around the shifter?

tommy

Oooh, and if the interior door pulls (the ones above the door openings on the headliner) are available, I wouldn't mind buying them off you.

edgarinho10

Front and side only? Maybe the car was hit while parked...

edgarinho10

Part of the reason I bought the car, sorry!

edgarinho10

I will let you know ASAP. I still need to pick up the car from Houston. I had originally planned on taking the whole interior but I just need to double check what is a surplus.

edgarinho10

I will post pictures of the current condition of my car later today or tomorrow.

Disclaimer. It is not pretty.

tommy

OK, no rush, thanks.

Hmm - a trip from Dallas to Houston in mid-July - where do I sign up?

edgarinho10

Lol feel free. I'm actually in the mood to travel. I can pick you up!

How much do you want for the LCD display from the speedometer part of the dashboard?

edgarinho10

I am counting on everything that is inside of the car at the moment, sorry!

Did anything change between the 02's and the 03's as far as the Coupe C230 Kompressors?

edgarinho10

Since I couldn't wait to start taking the car apart, I decided to start with the easy stuff. When I origionally bought my car, it had a spare but no lug nuts nor the air compressor.

All that and some nice gloves came in the donor car.

I am literally taking everything out and putting it into my car but it will be a slow and sweaty task.

I'll finish the trunk next time I have some time off. I should have taken a before and after picture to show the difference. Will do for the next section of the car.

I need a driver-side sunvisor (or more specifically, the little door that covers the mirror on the visor). Do you have a spare to sell from either your car or the donor?

SeaCoupe

This is a fun project. But dayum, you are going to be working in some heat. So, give us some details, what did you pay for the wrecked car?

If you are open to it, I could use the knobs on the climate control unit. Mine are quite worn out. I could also use the front windshield, but, I won't put the pain of shipping on you.

Too bad it's not an 02 for the engine and tranny.

Tri-Star

If you are willing to part .. I am looking to purchase the center console piece, that divides the drivers side and passenger side. I don't need the chrome bezel or any trim but mine has a nasty hole from my radar falling from my rear view mirror. Please let me know!

edgarinho10

Most likely will. Just need to get it all done first though.

edgarinho10

Give me a couple of days to get back home and post the actual receipt as far as the individual prices go.

Ballpark I would say a bit under $3600 for everything but that's because I was stupid enough to drive it home without registration or inspection stickers. Yep. No license plates. The car had a bit over 3/4 of a tank. I was nervous the whole way home especially when two separate cops turned on their lights within 30 minutes from home. Thankfully It was for speeders. I will tow the car if I end up buying another one.

I should have the knobs from my current car. They are still in good condition from what I remember. As far as California goes, I may be visiting a friend who lives there and wouldn't mind driving...

edgarinho10

I wonder if it fits in a 02...

I drove the car home and everything seemed normal. All the damages are cosmetic. Everything in the engine bay is intact.

Worst case scenario I could make it a convertible, a go cart, something fun.

edgarinho10

Are you talking about the one that goes around the radio or around the shifter?

Tri-Star

Bottom portion underneath the shifter. I'll also take the net if you have an extra or willing to part. Thanks!

edgarinho10

I am a bit confused. Do you have a picture or part number of what exactly you are referring to?
