I couldn't resist snagging up a nice wagon with a few issues.

The main issue being that it overheats. Previous owner stated it was a cracked #14 head due to instant pressurization of coolant system, and it holds pressure overnight typically. The wagon can go about 1.5 miles before temps pushing over 90*C

It doesn't seem to smoke on startup, has slight chatter from lifters or injector knock, and might have slightly less power than my other 87 300td, but overall ran fine around the block before getting too warm.

I've got a diesel compression tester in the mail, and currently the intake is off, ready to tap into the glow plugs to test. The car only has 250k on the clock, so I'm hoping the rest of the motor is in good shape...

Outside of the (likely) cracked head, the only other ugly part about the car is some spots of rust in typical locations. The main areas are wheel well, and jack points, with a few spots elsewhere.

To get to the good parts about the car:
Zero dents
Near perfect interior
paint is in great shape
third row seat
working r134a air conditioning
Lots of work done within 10k miles before head issues, such as new front shocks, rear SLS shocks, brakes, various gaskets and belts, fresh tires

My goal is to get the engine running properly, and then start tackling the rust issues. The car was in Ohio most of it's life, but now that it's in northern CA, hopefully the rust won't move as quickly.
