TheDon's 300D Turbo
Here she is in all her glory
I bought my 1985 300D Turbodiesel 3 years ago while in high school to use as a test vehicle for my biodiesel project. I fabricated my own 60 gallon processor and wash system. I ran it on biodiesel for about a year and half until I graduated. I fell in love with the car and vowed to keep it. Even though I constantly say I want to sell it when it angers me I still manage to keep it. Gotta love mechanical injection and over engineered everything
When I first bought the car off of the 5th owner in Tampa( well... third as it passed through both of her daughters hands), it was slower than a school bus. A day later I learned about the ALDA and such and she was back up to normal speed.
