Great daily driver 300D classic luxury sedan. It was originally from California but has largely been de-California-ized. I've put a ton of work into it and wanted to do more. Can't work on cars where I live now so no point in keeping it around.

** Steel Oil pan guard for going off road
** New Windshield
** New Transmission mount and motor mounts
** Redone whole front end: New tie rod ends, upper and lower control arm bushings
** Sealed rear axle boots
** New shifter bushings
** Deleted California EGR (emissions) measures, reverted to 1983 setup
** New climate control console
** Replaced rear springs and pads
** Replaced power steering fluid and filter
** Replaced coolant
** Replaced differential fluid (still has the original coveted 1985 differential)
** Replaced fuel supply hand pump
** Replaced remanufactured steering box and new steering shock
** Replaced transmission with a 1983 (better) transmission with lower miles
** Tightened right rear wheel bearing
** New rear brakes (front brakes still good)
** Valve adjustment and new gasket
** Ignition switch repaired
** Replaced trans cooler lines
** Replaced A/C compressor (reman)
** Lubed up sunroof (which works)

Have paperwork and receipts for all the parts.
