The Fueling system and the expensive PARTS that go with it is what usually brings the gasser cars down to the scrapper ,this combined with a trannie issue is a certain ender to it being a feasable DD .Its the collectors and experienced DIYers that only gleam at these as a possible saver .This one is a good project BUT more pictures and background would be needed before any drive out would be my advice .The reality is even at $1000.it would be dbl that to make it road worthy and safe.The rust could have its way over yrs since it looks like a grass sitter.The over all bet is the 5 spd makes it worth the drive out ,the motor running is a big sign its at least been maintained to some degree.Ive had this combo and the vehicle is just right as a commuter,40 hwy and the looks are modern.If the injectors are leaking it will need new seal rings,if you do have these leaks expect to replace the fuel lines,old ones never come off easy without messing them up.Brakes would be another cost ,then if theirs a clutch in need of repair$$$.A real diyer double car.IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A 4SPD THEIRS A FEW OUT THEIR IN TEXAS ,I would keep your auto and just buy a 4spd 240d .
