looks like a 617 valve cover & w123 front end. Would be interesting to know how they managed to brake the LCA mount off. Especially on that side. Maybe a dodgy crash repair in its past.

I drive my car down roads 100 miles a day that would make offroading seem gentle, and I have yet to have a single component fail on my suspension. There is something fishy going on there....

If the motor is good, that's all that matters. He's not selling the car for someone to hop intoa DD. He's selling it for parts or for someone with some expertise to exercise their magic onto it.

Wow!--Thats just mad!
Ive had some Real old rot-boxes over the years, but never seen any issues with that component or the X-members... Usual things are floor-pans, sills, inner wheel-arches doors, wings--in fact everything BUT that part! Does seem Summit rather strange there!  Possible crash-damage that was never seen at the time and has failed much worse since....

I don`t quite follow the 210 and SD.
that break looks like fresh metal, nothing rusty, that is if Iam looking at it right. something had to stress it to do that. X2, probably some prior damage. really don`t think 880 caused that. Charlie
