All this talk of the rarity of 1985 740 TD wagons with the M46 makes me want to try and restore mine instead of looking for a nice later model 700/900 series wagon to eventually swap the D24T into. My car is VERY rusty, although with enough time and patience (and a lot of work) I could make it nice again. I really can't stand the maroon interior though, and the car basically needs to be gutted and completely redone from front to back to get it up to my standards (I'm a bit OCD when it comes to my cars). Would it be sacrilege to yank the engine & trans and put it in a later model, or should I bite the bullet and restore the 85?
