This 125,000 km or 80,000 mile '83 300sd is new to me.

After much reading and a couple of months of driving her, here is my to-do list to be done over the next year or whatever as $ allow. Comments on any critical jobs I've missed would be appreciated. Luckily the car has very very little rust.

ALDA banjo bolt & vacuum line clean
have injectors tested/cleaned/rebuilt at professional shop
replace fuel return hoses with injector job
turbo air seals at bottom of air cleaner
replace thermostat next time coolant replaced (coolant is very clean)
new voltage reg/brush unit on alternator
inspect all fuel lines and replace as needed
fix AC compressor noise - see my other post - advice needed
fix cruise control when I have a lotta time on my hands
inspect oil cooler lines for weeping - done
power steering fluid and filter change - done
air filter change - done
transmission fluid and filter change - done
timing chain inspect and adjust tension - done

if there are any critical tuning or maintenance jobs I'm missing, I'd appreciate comments. Thank you.
