I finally did it too.

I bought my first Benz - a 1984 300TD wagon with 183K. Mostly rust free, except for a patch under the spare tire, and a bit on the bottom of the lift gate. A/C is busted, driver window is stuck closed and the locks don't work. Safety brake goes to the floor and won't hold the car in drive.

It has been sitting for a year, but started and ran pretty decently even with who-knows-how-old diesel in the tank.

Looks like the SLS works just fine, and although the transmission linkage needs to be adjusted it seems to work OK - good solid shifts, etc.

Lots of details to work on, but it seems solid otherwise (I hope!)
