Well, it has been garaged for the last 4-5 years and hasn't been started. I threw a new battery in it and quickly got it to turn over by putting a little gas in the FI/carb but it only ran for a few seconds.
I'm going to dump the old gas in the gas tank and give it some new fuel, replace the fuel filter, change the plugs and oil, etc. and see what happens. It only has 76k original miles so I hope the mechanics are in decent shape...Thanks!

SWEET ! 
Based on a similar looking re-paintI paid good $ to have my 1980 300CD re-painted Oriental Red but I didn'y get the quality of paint job I'd paid for........
By the time I realized just how badly I'd been rooke , they'd gone out of businees , in just one short week
Your car looks great !

Let's see if I do this correctly.
I'll try to post some pics of my "new" 1983 300TD Turbo that I just purchased about two weeks ago now.

This one has plates and has passed safety, but has duct tape around the axle boots. I'm just waiting to get my buddy's BMW out of the garage so I can get this in. Then the red one.

This thread should be a ***sticky***
I love looking at these old classics, I learned to drive in my Dad's '81 250, right hand drive, 4sp manual trans when I was growing up in Malaysia (ex-pat brat).
Looking forward to seeing more great pics!
