1985 300td euro 5spd swap turbo diesel
Last night while surfing Craigslist I found a 1985 300td 5spd I went and bought it for $900 at 10:00 at night in the dark and limped it to my dads house a few miles away
I think it has a bad ignition switch we had to roll start it and I had to jiggle the ignition switch to get the lights top come on. Then we drove it home it's got + 400k miles. It's a non turbo but it runs great after pull starting it. It had great oil pressure and it ran right on temp all the way home
The good:
and it has a fifth gear! euro lights and bumpers and a manual sun roof and rear seat and working rear suspension
The bad:
It has sever rust on the undercarriage I don't know if it's fixable yet it's made mostly of ducting zip screws and expanding foam. It was hit in the front and needs a new grill and front bumper but that was about all that got damaged!
I'm going to go check it out in the light after I get off work today
