help for a newbie?
 

Recently acquired a 79' 240d. I have a newfound respect for the mercedes auto makers and a sense of where those benz lovers are coming from. I am an experienced mechanic but don't know diddly about a benz or diesils. I feel this car is worth the time to make it shine again . I need tech manuals, info, parts sources. input, feedback.and cracks about my sanity for starting another project (might hear one i havn't heard already)

ckau,
