bringing an old 240D back into service

[woodrat]

Been a LONG time since I was on here.

I have a 1976 240D that was my daily driver for a while, about 10 years ago.

Ran good but got wet inside in the rainy winter and had too much black smoke, and then I needed an AWD rig so I parked it and it's been sitting around for years now.

Every now and then I throw the jumper cables on it and it starts up easily, and I drive it around the property a bit and then park it again.

Now I want it running and road worthy again. Gonna revive my old diesel Dodge truck, too, but that's another conversation for another forum... lol

-I assume the black smoke is injectors needing rebuilt. Is there anyone on the forum who does that, or should I just get some rebuilt Bosch ones from Pelican?

-The "MOISTURE" inside... ugh..

I talked to my body shop guy about replacing the rear window seal and he said he would not work on an old mercedes like mine due to the risk of finding a lot more rust than he anticipated when pulling the glass out. He said he would help me replace the rubber if I pulled the glass myself and the rust wasn't bad

This isn't a very rusty car overall, but it does have a little spot at the bottom of the driver's door and a small rust hole in the rear pillar next to the rear glass.

Are the window seals from Pelican good, and if I find a lot of rust when I pull that glass is that something that can be fixed or would I just be SOL?

Thanks!
