2nd

asking questions is good but do your research-read read read. and when you are done reading beg an EXPERIECED 240 owner that knows these cars and have them look at the car with you. G/L

I really dont understand the if you see rust, run sort of comment. 20 year old cars all have rust. How much rust is the issue. 3.5K is more than many cars that old but it isnt wholly unreasonable for a car that you dont have to spend 100 hours repairing rust. you will still probably have to patch up the frame if you want it to last a few years. Its all up to personal preference i suppose.

Most people around here get these cars becasue they are into working on cars but so many run for the woods when it comes to rust. A car this old needs a lot of TLC. Throwing in a turbo with hopes and dreams doesnt make a great car. grow a pair and put real effort into your cars, it will pay off.

My budget’s toast… I have no money for this 😛

But yeah, I’ve learned a lot of stuff while working on my car… Even put down more money than its worth… My only concerns are the constant vandalizing of my car… Its happened twice already… (see my vandalized thread)
