Why not just put a modern rear subframe in it with everything that fits? It would be easier than what you are doing. Like a 202 AMG car or something with limited slip.

I'm talking about the fact that someone would buy up all the old stock struts from mercedes and mark them up 300% and list them on ebay for $2,000 per strut. That is an a-hole type move.

The sls struts have a ball joint at the bottom also. It goes bad after awhile. The rubber at the top can use replacement also periodically.

I cannot see little metal flecks from a grinder embedding themselves in regular tempered glass. Been wrong before, though.

Would it have been easier to just cut out the entire panel and put the new one in? More welding, less fabrication perhaps?
