Good Deal! Yessir, they are dry reading but they will help you a lot if you need info...

Looks like somebody did a bypass on the glowplugs. That can be fixed or be just fine. Only need to push that button for maybe 10 seconds when you go to start her up. The wiring under the dash is a bit of a mess, and out under the hood looks pretty good. I suggest taking the #10 red wire off the "bus bar" (second pic, behind the master cylinder) off and cleaning those connections. Polish them up so they look like new, then apply a little anti-oxidant paste. Anywhere else that it looks like that - so the same.

Never even heard of anti-oxidant paste, already learning! I'll pick some up, thanks for that tip.
