My name is Alex and I live in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. I actually do not own a Mercedes at this present time but should be getting a 1982 240D from my gfs parents in the near future and am pretty stoked about it.

At the present time it just sits in their drive way and hasnt been started up in a few years and they have been looking to get rid of it and I told them I wanted 1st dibs and they said okay. I have already been looking around to see what I should do first, but not having a mechanical background I am not really sure where the best place to start would be. Hence, I am here on the forums to see what I can learn to make this my project car.

Hi to all and I hope all is going well in 2010 for you so far

 

Welcome to the forum. You've come to a very good source for information. There are quite a few sources for information where you can obtain information on the care of your MB. But I dare say, you won't find a better source than this one.

I haven't been as active on this board as in times past. However, I always know where to go when questions arise. Just utilize the "search" feature on this board for past posts on issues pertaining to the vehicle, or just enter that particular forum. There is bound to be someone who will certainly help you out with your particular series of MB.

Best to you, and once again, welcome.
