Well, I just returned from college and would like to get some work done on my 240. Below you'll see that old rusty needs some help, the problem is I have no welding tools or skills. Therefore, I'm looking to hire someone to do the repairs for me. What I'm looking for is someone to cut out the rust and weld in some new metal. You'll have to come to me as I'm currently pulling the motor. Pay negotiable and I'm located in the burbs of chicago. (MODs sorry if this belongs in the classfieds didn't know where to put it). PM if interested and I'll try to get up more pics soon.

So I'm going to bump my own thread first (still looking for someone to do rust repair) but now I'm also looking to rent an engine hoist from someone in the chicagoland area. I will again pay to rent your hoist as well as drive to pick it up and drop it off. Unfortunately no one I know owns a pickup truck to transport the hoist in so the hoist would have to be foldable or diassembled for transport. Any interest post up here or feel free to PM me. Thanks!

Rust repair done and engine removed. Thanks!

Any pics of the finished product to throw in the thread?

I apologize for the pictures. I wanted to finish the interior right away and put the carpet, seats, and dash back in.
