Ok, here is the deal, my 240 looks like poop. The fenders are both messed up, the hood has dings in it, the doors have dings in them, the rear bumper is fooked, I was hit from behind and my hatch latch is "interesting" to say the least and I also have a mega big dent in the DS rear quarter panel.

I have been looking into the cost of getting everything on my car fixed and having it all repainted nice and purty, but it is gonna cost like $3500 or something silly like that. Should I just say "fook it" and fork over the dough or should I try to find another 240 for cheaper than that with a good body and good paint and then swap all of my stuff over? I think the benefit of this would be that I would have a nice looking car with mega suspension and uber pimptastickness (aka sr swap) and another one that looks like poo, has a lot of miles on the chassis, and is beater-iffic!What should be done?

Being a qigong practitioner and wu style tai chi chuan discipile, I had to vote for be a monk. Yet, as a go-fast crack pipe addicted, California freeway driver... I think the best course of action would be to find a new body and swap everything over. Especially since you already have all the suspension and what not, you can focus on finding that one perfect body.
