Not too shabby at all. Pierre will like it. A nice W115 is very hard to find- I have been looking for a nice 220 or 240D W115 for years.

I'm not sure how the steering coupling is constructed on the W115, but if it is like the W116 you can rebush it yourself rather than replace it. And if the column is like a W116 (and it appears to be from the inside) you can pull the steering wheel with shaft towards the passenger compartment and avoid having to drop the steering box.
