Long awaited pics of my VA 300D
http://reactornet.net/300d/
^ Thats my webserver, 1984 300D, 286K miles. Suspension in front and back toast -- i'm having a guy look at it on tuesday. Vac lines are loose, I messed with them today and got better shifting. Sincerely, New 300D owner in KY

Using it as a parts car I hope.
Very cool that it made it 600 miles home. Once started these things just want to keep going......

interesting "vacuum" hose connections...
ouch, that rust looks pretty severe. how are the floorboards? how about the suspension? there's sooooo much under there that cannot stand much rust. I have parts cars in MUCH better shape... oh, and pull that heater hose and replace it to get that flush tee out of there, that plastic cap will blow on you at the most inopportune time... or you could take off the cap and put on a brass cap or do what I did, and put in a brass ball valve there. (I did this on my suburban... my MB's are all stock!)
