[diesel_mercedes] There's a light at the end of the tunnel

 

Brian has been on my rear to do an update on the '79 300SD head redo so here's where things are. Project began in early Dec 2010 when I picked this beast up in Florida and tear down commenced in Feb 2011. Spent the better part of the past 6 months in a series of fits and starts. The "while I'm in there I might as well" list includes:

Rebuilt head and all new innards
Rebuilt turbo (myself)
Rebuilt starter
New (rebuilt) injectors from Mercedessource with Monark tips
New water pump
Rebuilt double diaphragm vacuum pump (myself)
Probably $500 in sundry nickel and dime crap

Finally over the course of the past couple of weekends I've been able to get all the parts I've been collecting and actually install them on the car. Things are moving from the trunk to under the hood where they belong!

If I can find some diesel return lines I just may try to fire this thing up today...
