lol, yeah pat, cuz high school kids looking at $500 cars are rolling in it.

i dont want to fix his shit box. i didnt even want to fix my own.

mike, listen to me, cuz every month someone comes on here saying they found a cheap ass, rusty 240 that doesnt run and they need help fixing it.

you could buy a $500 rusty POS, spend $1500 getting rid of rust, end up with a $2000 rustless POS and then you’re where you wanted to be in the first place. except that $500 car turned out to be a lot more then $500 and a ton more work.

or you could look around a bit, find a 240 that’s worth $2000. pay $2000.  
drive it and anjoy it for the rest of the summer, drift it, destroy it, w/e, at least ur not fixing rust and without a car.

or if you’re more mechanically inclined, you could pick up a mint rolling chassis for like $500 with no motor and swap something in.

just remember, for every bit of rust you can see, there is prolly twice as much that you cant see. when a car gets to the point where it’s showing rust, its likely that it’s already been rusting for years and years.
