I have a lot planned for the car but it is somewhat valuable and rare so I don't want to go crazy on it-reversible mods in the spirit of the original. I believe suspension is standard 108 fare as is the chassis. I did begin an air suspension conversion based on 109 front control arms and got it so I could load it on a trailer but that's about it. I have all the parts to make the "new" 2 piece driveshaft but I can't have the yoke welded until I can establish the length with engine/trans in the car. I'll post a pic later. I was very pleased how the adaptor worked out. Since the pattern of the trans/bell was close there were some interference issues since I wanted to use as many nut/bolt connections as possible and not threaded in the plate. I used socket head bolts and a few reliefs to work around it.
