Spent some time figuring out the rental Mercedes GLA250 so the wife can drive it for the next few day while her Santa Fe gets fixed from the gray chonky. Why do they have to add so much stuff to ust to operate the basic needed functions? It keeps telling me that I'm tired & need to take a break after just getting out of the driveway.
Swapped out the factory steering wheel for an old mahogany Grant, the rear view mirror is now a chrome one with skulls, fought for an hr to remove door sill covers without breaking them- broke one little spot (fixable), removed a cheap Chinese radio, vacuumed everything and found lunch $$, removed a ton of seam sealer, removed fender badges, ground off some rivets & removed exhaust brackets, put on some exhaust pipe, replacement battery tray & valve covers are soaking in oxalic acid, toilet bowl cleaner did wonders for the headers but they need another bath before polishing.
Hey square body brethren, I'd like an opinion on which way to go with the rear suspension: flip kit and Bilsteins or shackles, hangers, air shocks, & factory springs w/ one leaf removed? The shackles/hangers/springs are on my '86 frame but this '81 has a broken leaf...

Those GMT400s had truly shameful headlights, especially when old and foggy. Luckily, new replacements are cheap.
