things maybe looking up for you but for me the light at the end of the tunnel is getting dimmer and dimmer lol. Just curious why you delete the moon roof? I love mine!
 
I like what you've done so far, gives me hope cause my car is only slightly more ghetto than yours was! Probably going to do a battery relocation too, which is made much simpler by the fact that my current battery tray is a bungee cord. lol. Good luck with the motor swap!

kinad blury but you can see how bad the rust is
ill post pics if the after
but there ya go some of the progress ive made
nothing is 100% done though so dont think any of the welds are final products
 
haha I feel ya with the midwest car thing... salt just eats the shit out of our cars. It's a shame. I bought my car cause most of the parts underneath looked like they had very little rust, but my frame looked almost as bad as yours must have. but like you said, cheap to fix. a little steel stock, a little welding, and we're done. good luck cleaning that all up!

ok i have effing awesome news! i am now the proud owner of two 240s!!!!

yep i got the one that my friend that gave me the harness and such from had

all for a whopping 50 bucks

bahaha!

its a 93 hatch i believe
so who needs parts? cus i got em!

*just adding, yes its the whole car, only things missing is the harness ecu maf and cluster, the motor is blown too, and its auto, but still cant beat 50 bucks!
it has an uncracked dash too =D
 
for the love of all things holy sell me the valve cover! the PCV valve socket in mine is stripped and I can't find that shit ANYWHERE. I called 6 pick and pull yards and nobody has a 240...
I'd be interested in the fusebox too.
 
shame about the valve cover... I called a 7th yard today. that's it within 40 miles of where I live:WTF:

But I'm loving the pink tranny! that's just awesome. If I can ever get my 240 running again before winter hits I will be painting my crappy rims the exact same color. Good work on the rebuild.
