Body and Interior Specific Aid

Hello everyone, I am working on some of the final steps of restoring my 84' 300SD and one of the last steps in the suspension. I have purchased a lot of the stuff already (from the source of course) and the rest my Benz insane brother gave me. Here is what I am doing and replacing to get back the newer ride and handling like when it was new(er). Any advice or missing items, I would sure appreciate before I get things torn down and and advice or thing to watch out for would be good also.

I *think* I have seen some 300td wagons with rear seat headrests. My 1982 version does not have such things, but I am interested in them given that I often carry passengers in the rear seat. (By rear seat, I am referring to the actual rear seat, not the 3rd row flip-up seat.) Any info about obtaining / installing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dale

My 1985 300TD has a vacuum leak. The engine won't shut down without using the manual stop and the door locks don't work. The brakes and transmission are working fine. Does the fact that the brakes and transmission are working while the shutdown and doors are not, help in locating the leak? Or, do I follow all the usual steps (as described in Kent's vacuum source leak detection manual)? [by the way, is it possible to search the forums?]
