A broken taillight does not qualify this car to be in this thread. It looks quite nice to me.

Dont worry about the parts. The only thing is that both, the front ad the rear windscreen glasses differ from a regular 114/115. So do all the pattis and the door and glass rubbers. rest everything can be used from a 114/115. Dont worry about parts. We'll get them.

As regard the 230, its a 114 as its a straight six. The ribbed rear lights and the absence of a front door quarter glass specify that she is a 1974-75-early 76 model, i.e. the last of the Compacts. It will probably have power steering and a/c with maybe an auto transmission (maybe).
The car does not look bad speedy. it is certainly restorable and looks to be in the same condition as my 220, which is under restoration at present. All the best. Just holler for any kinda assistance.

the parts for the coupe will not be a problem bhai got the stuff for my car too, includeing the windscreen and one quater glass. the side glasses can be made as they are not curved. the rubbers and the patti's can come from dubai alot of 115's being scrapped. the doors on the car are fine. rest we shall take the black 115 you had posted. here is a picture of my 230c when it was being restored



the car has been lieing in the same place for more than 2 yrs now. it is a RHD, manual transmission floor shift, it also has an a/c. the car is restorable. the only thing that has rotted is some part of the flooring.
when the auctions take place i am picking it up at any cost, not going to let it go for sure. i have a weakness for coupes and convertibles and a new found love for the limosines.

The rubbers and pattis are not he same as the 115 as these doors are bigger, being a coupe. The window too. The window glasses are also slightly curved. These you will not get in Dubai but only in the US or Germany and mind you they are expensive. The black car i had posted is gone and may have been broken. but dont worry, you will get every thing fo ra 114/5 including dashboard etc. Rest o fthe stuff one can get from abroad.

bhai my 230c is also a coupe . got the quater glass made for it and bought the windscreen from bombay itself. the door patti's also i got from bombay. when i was in dubai i saw the 115 coupe being destroyed. sorry i forgot to mention the coupe part after 115 in dubai. oldtimer centre in germany is a big help too. this 115 coupe needs everything from head to toe. maybe it needs an engine too.
