Slowness 220D

So I want to get back into the MB diesel scene.

Always wanted a 115 so I found a local guy selling a 71 220D

What I know so far

Bad
*needs clutch cylinder work (both need to be replaced)
*Probably needs all new brakes (calipers, pads and rotors)
*slow af
*Not orignal paint (certain areas are chipping - maaco job most likley)
*needs new key ignition - owner son broke wrong key in there
*accelerator pedal linkage is seized
*I noticed the Oil Cooler lines are not hooked up

Good
*Interior is in good shape
*No Rust
*Starts right up and idles somewhat smoothly (probably needs injector service and valve adjustment)
*euro spec (minus headlight)
*Original 53K Kilometers (so..like 33K miles on it)

I got the guy down to 1.3K but told I need to sleep on it before I commit since old cars are old cars after all.


here are some pictures for you to help me decide
