well i just got home from working on the car…got some good news and some bad lol…i guess ill gove you the good first… -taped the whole car -sanded the whole car with 80 grit -fixed rust spots on fender rails -filled all dents and dings -took rear bumper off -took tail lights out -took spoiler off -removed mud flaps and the bad stuff that i found kinda made me a little worried but i think it can manage getting it all done…when i took the rear bumper off i found another hole in the body ron the left side where you can put your hand down the side of the quarter panel…and when i took the mud flaps off i found that the bottom of my rear quarters are rotted out…i have a question about this and hopefully i get the answer im looking for lol…im wondering if it is possible to cut out the bottom of the rear quarters and weld new non rusted out ones in…can i get the new or do i have to cut them off another 240?? i will be posting pic as soon as i get some…lol i fotgot to take some today sorry:P ---

Good luck on the project man, I had to stop with mine when I found rust after removing the engine + other components since I don’t have a welder. ---

ah, i knew the last 2 owners… they were both douchebags. I bought it off the owner Richard, who wasnt the legal owner and the guy before him sold it with an illegal safety and emission, I got it on a hoist looked at weld patchjob and notice its fucked. I cant believe the MoT didnt confiscate the car or do anything about either of them or did they? dunno… well anyways you coulda got a free chassis if youd been on earlier 😛 ---
