94850tx Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 For Mother's day I had my mom's car buffed, recharged the a/c, and got a list together of what all needs to be done on it so she can start driving it more now that she has recovered a lot from her fight with breast cancer. We went out today and took some pictures of it.My parents bought this car new in '84, it's a 245 diesel with manual transmission. Me and my 3 brothers all came home from the hospital in it. Has 125K on it. I am looking into adding a turbo, it's honestly just too slow to drive in the traffic around here. BTW Paint is original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94850tx Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 beautiful 245!NA diesel sounds ridiculously slow though!Somewhat...but with 35-45mpg it's OK.It's a manual so about as slow as a 4cyl NA auto 240. You can mess with the injection pump to make them a little quicker, my goal is to add a turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteT5 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 If you lived in a more traveled neighborhood, I have no doubt that you would be forced to put a "not for sale" sign on this car. Glad to hear that your mom's doing better. It's been a while since I've been over that way. I'm moving to Denton in a few months and will be about 8 miles up the road .
