I have the opportunity to possibly acquire a 114/115? 220D four speed manual for sub 500 bucks. Though the body is good and it's apparently goes well it's definately a project car. I know that the starter pull is missing - no idea how they currently start it - and the garage guy says the tranny needs to be re-sealed.
And there is an after market fuel cutoff.

I know it's slow, but as a city - with some highway - commuter, is it a viable vehicle in today's traffic? I know the other Peter has a 220D that he's using. Is it really drivable as opposed to being just a novelty that I will also use to start training myself on mechanics?

- Peter.
