She's Alive Folks! 220d

Today I finished the brakes on the 73 220d. One caliper had seized and the owner just let it sit in the shed for 4 years.

I r/r the bad caliper and replaced the lines and fluid. With a new battery, the old girl started with no issues. Amazing.

She moved on her own power today after 4 years.

Just one little issue though. the go pedal does not come back up sometimes. I have to put my foot behind the pedal and 'pull'. I traced back the linkages and couldn't really find the problem (yet). Any ideas where it's getting stuck? i've pretty much wd40'ed every pivot point i can find.

It's an amazing car to drive. So much character!
