however getting pictures that will upload like I did above is less so. first the pictures have to be small. even the average cell phone camera takes pics too large for our forum to upload. so you need to upload them to either your computer and resize them so they will fit, or to a photo hosting site like picassa or photobucket or flicker or similar, then use the IMG link to post them to the yellow square icon above the message text area of this forum. in the condensed sticky thread I saved a youtube video about hosting pictures and linking them to forums like this one.

That car looks very savable. I would buy it in a heartbeat and the worst case is you have a decent parts car.

I jewel in the rough ,a few cuts with a buffer with a light compound,a soapy rag dampened to rub out the old smell off the vinyl interior and a vacuum .One return trip to see the seller would be nice ,bring her something ,a plant perhaps to put in the ground were the car sat for so long.

One of the nicest 300Ds ive ever owned looked exactly like that when I went to look at it. You might be amazed as to whats under that dirt. The dirt in some ways can protect it. Could be a diamond, could not, but for 200 bucks, we aren't talking a big risk here. Mine was a 83 grey market 300D, bright red, black cloth seats, ect. Looked horrible, moss and crap hanging off of it everywhere, 4 flat tires. Cleaned up, looked fantastic, had no rust on it. Still kicking myself about selling that car. Traded the guy a small dirtbike for it initially. He wanted the car out of his woods, I didn't need a childs dirtbike, a match made in heaven.

Alright so I went and paid for the car today and will be picking her up tomorrow. I'm very excited as to see what can be made out of this car. 200 is not a big risk so I won't feel to bad for losing it. I'll keep you guys posted! Thank you to all who have contributed to this thread. This forum is great!

i guarantee you, in one form or another, will get way more than $200 back from it. even if its a parts car, if the hazard switch works that is 1/4 of your investment back right there...

Can't wait to see pics of it once you get it home and start cleaning it. I can think of many stupid things to blow $200 bucks in and that car is NOT one of them. Good luck and hope to see it running soon
