1981 300SD...
1) Replace the lower ball joints 2) Replace the tie rods, drag link, steering dampner, rebuild the idler arms 3) Replace the control arms 4) Replace the guide rods 5) Replace the motor mounts 6) Replace the engine shock absorbers 7) Fix the very hard shifting transmission 8) Fix the A/C 9) Replace the dashboard 10) Get the car painted 11) Replace the interior (Seats and Carpet) 12) Fix the driver and front passenger windows 13) Needs an oil change 14) Fix the many oil leaks 15) ?? Frankly the car was never meant to be a daily driver, when I bought it, it was supposed to be a project car that I would drive occasionally and tinker with when I had time. Then my wifes car got totaled, and she got layed off. So, my car became her car and the project car became my daily driver. Even with all its problems it aways gets me where I want to and has never failed me...and its in better shape than when I bought it.

No heat, no cool. 300TD: -Rust repair on back gate, passenger side trunk well, and under back seats  -ATF cooling lines leaking from everywhere R/R -Brake lines rotten R/R -Hydraulic lines leaking R/R (I would actually to replace all the above with stainless steel flex lines) -Driver seat to pool noddled. -Sunroof drainage lines rusted. -Install battery tray -15" hubcaps missing clamps -could use a paint (but need to remove trim, roof rack,etc...) - new seals needed on windshield, quarter windows, gate.

It would be easier to list things that do not need to be done.

My summer list
The list for 2007
Headlights/FogLights/Assembly Proper citric acid flush Hood Pad Radio Speakers New springs ?? (Come on Vogtland!) Further off Find that vibration at 45 mph. For those of you that are looking to repaint ... google "car roller paint" I have two friends that have done it. Cost $200, but you spend LOTS of hours of your free labor !! Looks as good as you want it to.

My list is too long -- it'd be shorter to post what I don't need to do anymore
 Here's what I'm hoping to get accomplished before the rainy season sets in...1. fix water leak by front passenger area. 2. get/make valve wrenches, adjust valves, replace valve cover gasket. 3. flush power steering and change filter. 4. replace front guide bushings and lower ball joints, get new alignment. And then there's the non-benz stuff... 5. replace front driver seat on volvo 6. recharge AC on volvo 7. replace failing multifunction switch on expedition

To do list
Heh heh. I was thinking about this but realised the list is so long it pretty much includes rebuild the whole car. So now It's just come down to try to ignore everything and hope it holds together long enough to get to it's third high mileage badge
