Picked it up! Even with the tranny problem, I was able to drive it about 50 miles back from the PO.
I am very pleased with how it performed! It has good brakes, bearings, tires, axles, euro headlights, near mint interior, nice CD player, all interior lights work, engine runs great, vacuum system actually works and the doors lock! Suspension is comfortable and the alignment in good. It has new shocks, new alternator, new glow plugs and fuel filters, valves have been recently adjusted, and the parking brake is new!
The only way to drive around is to put it in 2nd where it performs decently, then wind it out and upshift into drive where it will slip and shift into 3rd, then maybe slip out. It also will slip on any hills in third, and sometimes in second. It would do the same for 4th. It was an entertaining drive back on the highway.
Stuff thats broken- both low beams are out, wiper intermittent switch is broken, needs wipers, the transmission problem, leaking oil cooler line, blower motor is not working, and the rust, which is cosmetic.
Here are a few late night pics, should have more in the daytime tomorrow or sunday-
