Pics of my 300D
Just wanted to share a couple of pics of my 83 300D 194,000 on the clock. Picked it up a couple of weeks ago, and I paid a premium ($4900) but I'm happy with it. I've already been able to fix a couple of things(hard shifting tranny, steering wheel play) thanks to all the great info on this site. Just got through polishing and waxing before I took these pics.

That's not necessarily a lot to pay if a whole lot of work has been done to the car already. Looks nice.

More pics
The rust below the driver side taillight and on the front valance is all there is. I think the car was originally a Cali car(found a couple of oil change stickers from San Diego) but I bought it in Conn. I cant get aux fan to kick on also. I applied 12v to the motor and it kicks on. I also jumped out the switch on the reciever/drier and swithed the relays on the driver side fender but It still wont come on. Does this model have the resistor? If so where is it? I've done a search but can't find what I'm looking for. Does the same relay on the drivers fender control both the compressor and aux. fan?(DPDT)

is cracked. better check that. If that crack is open then dirt and water will quickly destroy it. might be able to reboot it. Nice car. Charlie

The condition of your car is pretty impressive considering its location.
That tail light rust is a strange one; never seen that before.

It does not look cracked to me, but I have a boot kit for sale in parts just in case. BTW it looks just like my 83 240/300d. The only reason I can think of a car rusting under the taillights and noplace else is if its been hit and repaired there and they didn't get the paint good enough. Tom W
