hot wire my Benz

I picked up a 79 300TD and the guy I got it from did not have the keys for it is there any way I can get this thing running without the key's right now? I don't need steering right now I just want to get it running to see if the car is worth it to put some more time and effort into. TIA

RE: hot wire my Benz

Good point I should have added that I have the title in hand and the car was given to me by a person that I have known for year's and has had this car since i've known him so that is not an issue. are there any guides to replace the cylinder that does not require having the key? would it be wise to take a screw driver to the ignition?
