Re: [MBZ] Question for list about 300TD fixer
This one was an 87, but it had a broken valve, trashed head and piston, and signs of other mediocre care and feeding (cheap respray that was now peeling off in sheets, electrical hackery, etc).

Re: [MBZ] Question for list about 300TD fixer
yep. I would bet the rocker switch was to turn on the ac compressor. Just a wild guess, the klima relay went out and instead of replacing it they put the switch in.

all i can say is that its going to need alot of work, including a whole new paint job.
