1983 240D but w/5cyl Manila Beige

Probably paid too much, but oh well.....

It's a NO RUST 83 240D but someone (probably even a frequent reader of this forum) swapped out the 4cyl for a 300D 5cyl. Plans are to VERY soon add a Frybrid kit, I happen to actually have a W123 kit so no waiting a year to get the kit. It used to be in one of my diesel Jettas.

OK, paid $2500 - blower motor switch busted so I had to get an $82 one from the dealer, in the end it was actually the cable was frozen but the new switch is a much improved design over original. Also, A/C has a leak but works - will fix soon. Motor runs strong with barely a puff of smoke when cranked after its been sitting several hours. No smoke when only a few hours.
