Wow I'm a veteran now [:D]
Let's see:
Bought my first Benz, a red 1978 123 200, in 1991, on the same day I got my driver's license [8)]. That was the first car I ever owned.
I traded that for a silver 1973 116 350 SE, which I traded back for the very same 200 a week later (stranger things have happened [:D])
Then I owned a couple of 115 200's, both 1975, one white and one blue. Then there was the yellow 1977 123 200, and then a green 1982 123 200. And then there was the venerable 1964 190, which I owned for a year, along with a VW Beetle [:o)]
And now my beloved 124. Next move: Add either a 300 TE or a 560 SEL (when I can afford it [V])

Shady-
first of all, congradulations on your "upgrade" in BenzWorld Status.
second, the 300E is a Six cylinder? am i guessing correctly? i am trying to picture in my brain, as i am typing this, what my engine compartment looks like. since i have the E420, i will assume the motor mount swap will be a little differnt, and a tad more complicated. i got excited when SNIK said it only took you 15 minutes to change the mount out because my local mercedes repair shop quoted me $800 to change both mounts. OUCH!, that stung.
so, did you lift the engine from the top, with what we call in the U.S. a Cherry Picker (god knows why!) or from underneath the engine?
i dont think i am quite ready for the swap, but it will need to be done, and if i can save $800, all the greater the motivation.
