1982 240 DL with a couple of issues

[mookie5381]

So I just bought it, and absolutely adore it. It's a manual with the overdrive four door sedan, the inside is in really good condition, not too many dents on the outside, and the engine runs really well (after it warms up...a little rough when cold).

The issues are all minor: one door doesn't open at all (rear pass.), one door only from the inside (pass.), the sunroof doesn't seem to close all the way (but there's no leak, just obnoxious when driving on the freeway), and I had to jimmy rig the OD button because I managed to break a wire (long story), but it all works!

Question is this: How much would it cost to get the door problems and the sunroof fixed? The OD button I could do myself, I just need to get some new wires and some glue, but the doors and sunroof are beyond me.

Thanks!

The sunroof on these beasts is open to a few problems, but if you go up to the handle and remove the two screws that hold the mechanism the mechansim can be readjusted to close all the way. It is a matter of backing up the gear a certain amount and trying it after reinstalling it.

Door: these had problems with parts inside where part of the handle broke or fell off. If you can find used parts it would help. Not that expensive, but you do have to take the door apart.

Look at brickboard.com for some good help. RWD section.

Hope this helps, but ask more questions as they come up.
