So my friend Jesse found this 81 300td at a yardsale and gave me a call. After a quick look-over and some negotiations on the sellers price I slowly drove the wagon home. I have the mechanic's #, but have yet to call it. It needs a good bit of work, but drives ok as is. I'm a photographer and took it for a drive today on a photo hunt. I took a few of it to share.






I bought it in order to keep the miles off of the BMW... my fun car I suppose.


Things that don't work:
-it diesels...
-only blows hot air out the outer vents
-sls is sagging, previous owner said it's leaking out somewhere
-dry rot tires
-possibly bad booster, or another vacum leak causing power brakes to not work... much
-engine mounts/bushings/etc all shot
-leaks some oil, possibly from the front of the engine area
- drivers door requires slamming it really hard for it to shut
- rear right window doesn't operate

The good: it has a rebuilt engine and transmission (dunno when or by whom)

I'm not sure how long I'll own it, but I like the way it drives. I just need to get the a/c working in order for me to really use this vehicle on a regular basis.
