Swede - MB 190D 2,5 turbo
Here's my 1988 190D with 2.5 turbo engine. Imported to Sweden from Germany in 1998 with the following options:
Auto trans
Cruise control
Manual sunroof
Manual windows
Power lock
For the moment it sits at a friends shop for maintance and rust removal I been working as an auto tech for over 20 years (8 in Dallas Texas) but these days i'm running my own towing company so i don't have much time to work on my cars.
Will be a full paint job after the rust been taking care of, and i'm replacing both front fenders.
Sweet! Too bad for the rust...

so is it difficult to fix the jack points holes? mine are rusted as well and thats pretty much all the rust i have. so if i can fix that pretty easy i may do that and get it repainted.
