Now that my other cars are running well and I finished the 300TD that's been in my garage for 7 months, I'm able to focus on my wagon again.

I plan to keep this thread updated as I complete all the things I need to do on my 1985 300TD. This is the second wave of "restoration and repair" that I'll be embarking on.

Here's a list of things I need to accomplish in the order I plan to attack them:

- drain oil
- replace turbo drain gaskets and o-rings.
- replace wastegate hose
- replace oil pan gasket
- new oil and filter
- valve adjustment
- replace fuel filters
- flush cooling system
- replace all accessory belts
- replace exhaust from end of down pipe back
- replace SLS valve
- flush brakes and inspect
- replace, passenger side tie rod, center link and steering shock (then get front end aligned)
- flush AC system, replace all o-rings using Nylog sealant and charge with R12

Once these mechanical issues are dealt with, I'll finish a few other projects before I do my final wave/phase of repairs. That will include the remaining body work and rust remediation, new passenger side door seals, new hatch and hatch struts and the completion of the third row seat installation.
