1980 Mercedes-Benz 300SD TurboDiesel Restore

[Assault]

Hello,

It has been my intent to post my archives of photos I have taken while working on my car. Should anyone have questions about procedures I took, or questions about anything you see, please ask and I will do my best to answer your questions/comments. I recommend finding the exact part number your searching for and price search based on the part number, using multiple search engines I.e Duckduckgo, Startpage and if you don't mind the NSA-Google.
