ahoy:

i'm looking for a W126 and have seen three with similar front bumper
corrosion (holes on top where it is chromed).  is it a big job to replace
this bumper with a better one from another W126?  is the rear the same?  is
that problem generally more than cosmetic?  i'm also seeing a lot of bad
wood, but i figured that's not too difficult to replace.   was also
wondering about how easy/difficult it is to replace the shifter indicator
(the piece around the shifter with white P,R,D, ...).

thanks,
POE
