Ah yes, that is why I am staying away from the Mercedes forums. They always suggest to just get a new part. I am on a low budget fixer upper here :-(

Hey hey guys!!!
I went to see the donour car yesterday. 2 cars in fact!

I could not believe it but the chassis rails on the 1st one are different to mine!
Mine is a 1973 and that was a 1975.
Such a real pity as the rails reasonably nice. T

The cross section is almost triangle shaped instead of my rectangle. More room between motor and rail but I am not sure if that would just fit into my car without heaps of other mods?

The 2nd one is a 1974 107.043
That has the same rails as mine and they appear straight.

But boy is that rusty!! The first 4" of that rail is just not even present and I can see right through it.

Oh man

What to do next?

Regards
Bernt
