1981 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series Description

I LOVE this 240D. I've had it for a few years now. I have done a LOT of repairs and rebuilding to it. I will attempt to list everything I have done while I've had it.
Specs: 1981 Mercedes 240D
4 cylinder N/A diesel motor with 4 speed manual transmission.

Manual windows, manual climate controls, no sunroof. 2" tow hitch welded to frame.
Runs perfect. Shifts great, drives great and stops great. Great working A/C and heat. (I am a mechanic and certified HVAC tech and did a proper retrofit myself)
Parts replaced in the last 2 years: (in no particular order)
Rear springs, Sub-frame mounts, Differential mount, motor mounts, upper control arms and joints, lower ball joints, front sway bar bushings, caster bushings, back half of exhaust system, passenger-front window regulator, rebuilt drive shaft, front wheel bearings, brake master cylinder, front brake calipers/rotors/pads, rear rotors and pads, tie rod ends, drag-link & ends, steering stabilizer, brand new tires and alignment Sept. 2017, steel wheels with polished hub caps, adjusted play out of steering box, valves adjusted, fixed speedometer, 300d radiator, brake/clutch fluid flush, new vacuum shut-off valve for motor,
Needs:
-Axle boots
-Stereo system is use-able but not amazing.
-Maybe rear shocks soon.
-Electric radio antenna doesn't work.
-Cruise control doesn't work
-Vacuum door lock system has leak and is currently disconnected.
If I have time/money, I will fix the items it needs and the price will reflect accordingly.
This is an excellent and comfy daily driver. Other projects force sale.

More pics of specific areas are available upon request.
Car is available local to 90039 for any inspection buyer needs.
