Hi,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Dave, and I own an '82 240D in Charlotte, NC. I purchased it a year and a half ago for $500, with a bad knock, and have just begun working on it (delayed by house projects). I have prior experience with a daily driver K5 Blazer diesel, and am looking forward to working on the Merc, and being a part of this community.

Thanks,

Dave
