Another Mercedes W115, 1969

[A4crn]

Not really a stance update, on Sunday I went to a local classic car Grand Prix where I got to hang out with some old friends and make new ones. The blue 115 was about to be scrapped but the current owner picked it up for free and restored it,



This thing was immaculate



Lots of Jags



Bugatti's from all over Europe

[D&W]

I'm having second thoughts about those rims...I'll be restoring the caps for sure since I need to get some small things painted. D&W's Merc looks perfect, but its a bigger W108 model. I'll take some time to do a proper photoshop pic first. I need tires with a white stripe too.

thanks for the compliment man. i can see what your thinking is with the supremes, i am not sure as I am so used to seeing them on muscle cars or 80's hot rods here in the states. would cost a fortune to ship over from cali! a real lowrider look is also wire wheels, and mercedes had some dayton wire's which come up for sale every so often that were fitted to some old benz' back in the day.

personally i love the caps but I do like it when people try out some new ideas.

keep enjoying!

Thanks, I don`t have any interesting updates, I towed the car to a shop to get the hose replaced, get a general service and a front oil seal replaced. I should be ordering the air ride stuff next week and I wanna start restoring the stock hub caps as a couple had the paint peel off. I sketched the trunk lay out, I`ll scan that later.

Just got this from ebay

I was wondering if setting up the rear bags like this would work or they would flop about. I thought of this set up because if it works the bags would work straight and I can use the factory shock bolt. Any thoughts? Drawing is not to scale, just easier to explain



as opposed to this

[bobbyjones]

i know your drawings aren't to scale but to put some guessitmated numbers into your drawings. your bag would have to sit 2/3" above the control arm, where as with that picture and i know on my car the bag sits flush with the control arm.

[A4crn]

Yeah, if it sits flush there's not much room to put in a pivot...I'll have to find out in place. I have looked at some setups on youtube and it might work (given there's room)

More pics!!!!

[A4crn]

Here you go its still stock height...progress is slow as I'm being held up by other stuff, like waiting to start a new job and registering the car as a classic, I don't wanna start bagging it before its approved ..Can't wait!

I so want that front bench seat!!!!!

Sometimes I wonder if someone changed it, haven't seen another one with a bench. Do you have a build thread for yours?

Here's some motivation from Down under:
