I've always wanted a 240 but never had a real reason to get one. Well about 2.5 years ago now my Z34's tranny puked so I got rid of it. Me and my fiance work together so I really didn't need a car right away. I turned away afew people that where selling their 240's but they where not what I wanted(SOHC). Then one day Crystal's sister calls and says that one of her guy friends is selling his 240, its a 93, and he's asking $700 with a bad tranny. Now I'm thinking great another bad tranny, but the kid says he has one out of the junkyard. So I talk to afew of my friends and they say it shouldn't be a problem. So I'm like screw it lets go look at it. SO here's what we see:

Now there are a few things to take note on in these pictures:
1: look at the taillights real good, notice anything......
2: kid claims he had professional body work done........
3: body lines, one-side has them, the other don't.......
4: You can't see them but the turn signals in the bumper have arrows sprayed on them.......
5: And oh yes the muffler ( if thats what you want to call it )
6: No that is not primer, it is flat black rattle can
I can say though the interior was in really good shape other then the infamous tear in the bolster on the drivers seat and it looks like they had bolted a large tach through the dash.
Now my girl wants to hear the car run, should be no problem right.........wrong. Since the tranny was bad the kid started to take it out so the started was hanging down on the ground and all the bellhousing bolts have been removed except for one ( anyone that has swapped out an auto knows which one ) so I ask the kid " how much you askin?" he says $700. I'm like damn I cant even hear it run so I counter with $400, he says thats not enough, so I tell him call me when it doesn't sell and I'll buy it. Three days later he calls and says I'll sell it for $500, I talk it over with Crystal and she says its up to you but it better run. So I have AAA meet me at the car to have it towed home. We get it in the garage look around it, put some of the tranny bolts in, bolt the starter up, throw it on the battery charger, turn the key and.............it ran. No strange noises no leaks not nothing. I was happy, she was happy so we started to tear it apart. We took the tranny out of the trunk that came with the car and within 2 weekends we drove the car down the road. Then it was time to start working on the body.
I had no choice but to remove the body lines from the car. It had been wrecked on the passanger side and when it was "professionally fixed" they did not put the large bodyline around the bottom back in. The trunk lid was hammered because they used spray foam in between the frame and skin which made it wavey, plus in the cars history it had OEM spoiler, then Big mofo wing and as you see when I got it it had nothing. So I bought a trunk lid and spoiler here on NICO from a member to resolve that problem.
So now all the body work is done, it was something that I could not do all myself so I called in a favor to a friend. Ryan is all responsible for the body work and paint. It is something he does on the side but we all tell him he should do it all the time. Here's some pictures from when we where working on it.

So now all we have to do is paint the jams and give it a good wet sand and buff.
I did put wheels on since it's springtime, I got the fever. They are some el'cheapo's from where I work. They are 18x7.5 with Kumho 22540R18's up front and 25535R18 Pirelli P-Zero's out back.

I will have more pictures as I get them.
I found a picture of the engine bay. I took off all of the red loom and am painting the engine bay next winter.

Finally wet sanded and buffed out the car. Still needs some more work but is alot better then it was.
These pics are from before we left for the 1st Annual George C. Taylor Car Show in Cleveland.

And this one is from the show.
