and somehow this thread turned into tattoo and piercing thread haha

[Hooked on 240]

It looks like someone took a poop on your throttle body. and looks like a smoke/dust bomb went off in the interior!

GL with it!

hows the rust on that beast

Ugh, you honestly got ripped off for $750. Well, a parts car shipped to your door for $750... eh not bad, the high miles kind of kills it though. But honestly, if this is a project car this is an extremely poor start. You'll realize though and give up, I suggest finding a new shell.

yea im with him. I found a clean rust free 140k 91 240 for $500. Guy thought it was a bad transmission but it was just the alternator.

The previous owner of my car let there insurance company Salvage the car because the QP was just like that^^.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade but your interior makes me want to barf. You've clearly have alot of work on your hands and alot of time and money to invest. Me personally if this is gonna be a DD I would never pick a salvaged title, the insurance is horrible but if you're tracking/autoX'n it then it really doesnt matter.

word up for more coupe love

[troyw]

it doesnt have a salvaged title and wow the interior needs to be cleaned nothing a little carpet cleaner and some rags wont fix

[troyw]

and when did every body become pansies oh no the interior is dirty ahhhhhhhhhhhhh waa who gives a s*** we call are cars projects for a reason because there projects and i dont see how i got ripped off 750 bucks for a car that that needs to be cleaned and a tune up it runs doesnt its like everybody is becoming lazy or afraid to get dirty anymore

[troyw]

hows the rust on that beast

besides where the qp damage is at there is no rust just where its crunched a little bit and its not eating through its pretty much just surface rust

[slagithor]

dude GREAT start... like you said its a project i think your working fast and hell yes on a rough start makes it worth that much more to ya.

[troyw]

thanks man your one of the few that understand the concept of a project and yah its not the worst car ive ever seen just the qp damage was the bad part and there isnt any damn rust anywhere on the damn car besides where the damage was its just a dirty a** car

[slow40]

Is it just me or does just about every 240 on the road have a dent in one of their quarter panels??? There must be something about the thickness of the sheetmetal or the design of the body that makes them dent easily.
