Update:
It was a nice day today so I decided it was time to start these diesels. The Gold SD took some charging to get it started but once it started it ran fine and the charging system worked perfectly, 13.8v at idle.
Green SD started right up first try. It made this god-awful metal scraping sound when I revved it a bit. I quickly discovered the location of a hood spring. It had fallen somehow below the radiator fan. I pulled it out and flushed out the engine block (new rad) and refilled with Zerex G05 coolant.
I also cleaned up the garage a bit (and by cleaned I mean just swept into a pile to be dealt with later) I've got about a 1/2 dozen items left to do to the car, at least until Hit Man X ships me my package of parts/tools.
I'm going to gut the entire trunk as well. I'll seal any and all non-factory holes and make sure the rear window is repaired as well.
Here some pics of the garage, its a bit messy. I got into the habit of throwing **** under the car as I was working on it. LOL
