My addiction...

Or maybe its just a curse, but tomorrow I'm going to connecticut to pick up yet another parts car. I might even fix this one up and use it as a beater, all it really needs by the sound of it is a driver seat and probably some other bs stuff. Who knows, maybe its time to retire my 15mpg grandpa-mobile for a 240 daily. Or maybe it's time to break out the cutting disks and go to town. I'll see when its back in rehoboth and I have a moment to think. I can't wait to get my fix although my yard is starting to look like a 240 graveyard...dunno if that's a good thing or bad. Either way I know I'm gonna get the "Another one!?!" comment from the gf but I guess an addiction to 240's is better than an addiction to crack, right?

SOOOPED!!

Just got paid, can't wait to make the trip to CT this weekend and scoop up all the parts Ive been scoping out. Just won a set of carbs on ebay.... the build is starting to come together!!

Done and done!

We didnt get the rain we were supposed to get today so sun + boredom = done! I got the hatch and doors off, so now all i have to do is get the clutch and brake pedals and master cylinders off and i can send my poor little rust bucket to scrap heaven.

Part 2...DONE!

Part 2 of my mini-project of stripping the rust bucket is done... after 2 ratchets and a bunch of cussing the subframe is out! Next on the agenda is doors/hatch/pedals and i should be ready to clean out the garage and prep for the actual start of my project. Getting a big check in about 4 days...can't wait...i dream of carbs and single-cammers!

Ahhh crap..

That's exactly what I said when this happened. I was on the last nut to take off my rear subframe on the 240 and the stud sheared off my ratchet. I loved that ratchet, for being part of a $30 155 piece tool set it definately conquered any rusted ass bolt on my car. Even using a 3 foot cheater bar on it the ratchet just served any bolt within its reach. But today it met its match...and sadly it must be put to rest. Time to go buy some new tools!!

part 1 done..

Got the front end off of the rust bucket finally... Tomorrow comes the subframe then doors/hatch/pedals and whatnot then a visit to the scrapyard!

Epic sauce

Had a sweet fire, here's some pics
