Resurrecting a 1973 W115 Mercedes 220 Gasser. Bought this car with a broken timing chain. I was going to rebuild the engine however however parts, time and the fact I am not a skilled engine rebuilder led to look for a used engine from a rusty car and I found a 1976 Mercedes 230 Gasser European model that I will be using as a donor parts car. Should be a straightforward swap. Does the european model have different suspension parts such as springs? Here are couple of videos I made of the cars. Thanks Danny
Video of both cars:

I rebuilt one of those from the ground up , a 71 model , pulled her out of a barn where she was sleeping for many years. "libby" she is legendary on this forum
