lots of bondo, newpanels, dash, everything. the frame was cracking in half and 80%of the driver side was warped/beaten back into position.


+1 for the MR2, i've always wanted one.

actually, that frame is toast. or else I would have stripped it down and fully prepped it and kept it. here's some old pics so people know I'm not ruining a perfectly good 240:thumbsup

Whole fender section was rippled, along with a huge dent near kickpanel.fusebox along with a small hole

Image


ugly vdubs... and yeah, can you say hammer? and no, it doesnt fix everything in this case

Image


mmm, caulking and saran wrap to plug a hole and hide a crack behind the drivers seat

Image


my 240 has cancer...

Image


replacement windsheild? why? maybe because the piller was crushed?

Image


frame rail cracked and falling off? eh, put some bondo in it!!!!

Image


seriously, what the hell is that crap?

Image


better picture of the frame section

Image



yep, that thing is junk, and half the stuff isnt pictured. and i've found more while tearing it apart.

and before anyone says it, IT WAS NOT THE PREVIOUS OWNERS FAULT. He got screwed over and I bought it as is...

umm, ever think that almost all of that is covered up by panels and carpet? do you tear apart the interior to buy a car? haha.

and i didnt care about the condition of the body. I bought it for the motor.

all the roof is is a thin sheet of metal which is very easy distorted when you cut through it. the only solid part of the roof is the pillar on each side, the rest is non-structural sheet metal.

And i'm bored so I'm updating this thread with more insanity :thumbsup
