My Twin Turbo Chev Mercedes W108 (1968) 280SE to "350SE" CRIPPLE

This is a 1968 W108 280SE Mercedes I bought for $600. I then stripped it, fabricated and rebuilt every component on and in the car. Its taken almost 3 years to get this far but Ive done. Oh, and Im in a wheelchair so it makes things a little more diffcult than most other builds out there on the web.

Nice job. I put a 6.3 axle under my '68 280sl. See it under "Jettmar" on youtube. How did you connect the anti lift bracket arms from the 6.3 axle to the "frame" of the car or did you eliminate them?

Thanks, Derek

@ajksfda I made new brackets and welded them where they appear on the W109's. I can email you some pictures if you are interested
