Or did I?
low miles 153k
you could literally eat off the engine, it has the #14 head AND the crimp on vacuum pump.
has not been driven since 2002. was on a non op title, started right up ran and drove excellent, rear slightly bouncy due to defective accumulators.
the car was dissasembled internally for a detail by a crackpot tech who lost the door panels and all the wood before he dissapeared. except for a few minor paint chips the car is as new, i have a 2" stack of invoices for all the parts the previous owner did befor his tech vanished.

so after going through everything i am feeling like i have my work cut out for me, first and foremost i need to find grey doorpanels.

great to be back with a Diesel again, now if i can only get it put back togeather!!
Lost all 4 door panels? I believe it was the pick your part in chula vista that had a gasser w124 wagon with grey interior one or two months ago. Might still be there. Might still have its door panels. If it wasn't the PYP it was Ecology's lot.
