I posted here a few weeks back when I purchased this car
see this thread 1985 300D purchase?
The car had been sitting for quite a while before I bought it.
Anyway after taking it in to Atwood European, a shop recomended here by DavidL. The car is running Great!
Things I had done:
repalced engine mounts, transmission mount, all belts, drive propeller shaft, flex disc, center support drive shaft bearing, valve cover gasket, diesel return lines, all filters, fuel return line, fuel hose, fixed the trunk lock, remounted the ac compressor (which was on crooked) the first guy I had look at it said the compressor was shot but now the ac works fine. He even charged it with freeon at no cost. And to top it off they washed and vacumed it out. Great shop and Andrew (owner) is great to do buisness with.
He said that the car is in really good condition with a strong motor and if I ever want to sell let him know. So I now have roughly $2000 in it including purchase price and it seems to be in great shape. Man it sure feels good on the freeway. I think I'm going to need to take a road trip real soon!
