Picking up SWMBO's '84 300D today
It's finally here......We're picking up SWMBO's 84 300D today.
She's so excited she's mowing the yard!! Bummer that we have to tow it in, but the radiator is leaking like a sieve. Well, at least I'm excited about it!

Nice car, I was looking at one almost identical last year before I found mine. I love that color combination!

Yep, it's a blue MBTex interior with only a couple of stress cracks on the drivers seat, otherwise it's almost like new.
Found out today that the PO's, PO must have had a wreck in it. The same area I have to fix has indications of previous bodywork. Appears that the front fender was replaced, along with some parts (The turn signal has bright blue writing that says 123-R). The rubber that is on top of the bumper has a metal form that is rust city, so not sure where the donor parts came from, but I guess I'll have to repaint that. I also found out that, even though it blows cold air, the condensor needs to be replaced as it's concave (I saw this before, but it didn't register). Anyways, here are some more pictures after pulling parts all day today:
