This thread started it all:
What is involved in putting a 617 in a '91 350SDL

Today I picked up a 1991 350SDL that I purchased yesterday for $2,400.
The guy I bought it from bought it on ebay with only 58K miles on it for $19,900 in 2007:



I got all the service records since new:


The owners manual and stuff:

I need to wade through all the info, but I am sure I will find that this was a very well maintained car.
I will get some photos of the car in it's present condition (dirty), and then some after.
The first order of business is to patch the hole in the oil pan to find out if there is any internal damage (please read the thread linked above). This repair will not be permanent, but will be just for testing. I will try epoxy or silicone and a piece of sheet metal and rivets. I will post photos and the results here, stay tuned.....Rich
