Another '87 300TD Money Pit Honey Car

Well it looks like I am in the early stages of supporting a money pit honey car. She is beautiful, teal green with no rust and a great interior. The kids love to ride in that third seat facing backwards. She runs strong, her journey has taken her only 168,000 miles. But she needs some help to make it far into the future. Her mechanic says a possible valve or head job is needed on that 22 head of hers (she smokes oil), along with a new rear differential, control arms, spindle etc.....her accumulators and struts are OK. Not to mention the electrical failures. But since she has a sound body we will likely make the initial 4-6K repairs and get her back on the road on a regular basis on B100.
