Scored a cheap 1987 300D!

[shertex]

Guy was selling something of a beater of an 87 300D...asking $1200. I called just to satisfy curiosity, told him I had no driveway room.

He calls back a week later, says I'm the only one who called on it, he's sending it to the crusher for $400, but I can have it for $400 if I want it. Soooooo.......there's always street parking!

This will be a way to develop my largely non-existent wrenching skills.

The good: drives fine, everything feels solid, new radiator, ball joints, and water pump; recent brakes. And did I mention it cost $400?

The bad: No AC, rust at jack points, faded paint, peeling clear coat, minor seat rips, won't shut off with key, cruise doesn't work, broken odo, aaannnnddddddd......turbo won't spool up.....huge plumes of black smoke when I floor it.

Should be an adventure....or something like that.
