hey man, I'm sorry i didnt respond earlier my phone gets awful reception, this is allen with the white w115.
can you text me a picture of what exactly your talking about the bolt and everything in the AM?

lol all good, i was getting frustrated and hitting up all the W115 people i knew to try and get help. I gave up and put the car back together and forgot to take a pic. But its the ball joint on the outer end of the front control arm that was giving me problems. Whats the proper way to do this? lol

So i attempted to do the front springs today and ended up in an epic fail

i unbolted the sway bar end link, unbolted the shock, and when i was unbolting the ball joint to drop the control arm the bolt didn't come all the way out because it stopped on something. The ball joint nut was almost completely off the bolt so the control arm should've at least gone down some but i took a sledge hammer to it and it didn't even move

Am i doing it right? Or is there another easier way to do it

Spring cutting is easy:
Grind 50-70% through the spring, then bounce on the car and it'll snap and you'll be safely standing on top of the car. Cut out the excess.

Your bananas, cool Benz

Step 3

Remove those later tail lights and get the older earlier ones for a cleaner look:

I wonder if they are a direct fit, if they are ill look into it for the future

That thing is ridiculously clean.

thank you sir

step 1

remove those ugly US-spec bumpers

step 2

Euro bumpers or even pre facelift bumpers require modification and custom fab work to fit. But i'll make something happen, eventually lol
