Good news! You guys telling me all about the wonders of older 240s have convinced me to KEEP the 240 that I recently inherited.

I've been tracking down some electrical issues; specifically, I had noticed that the license plate lights don't work (that's a $217 ticket from our local city police, who are quite over-eager on this sort of thing, unlucky friends have told me!). Also, the rear defogger and high-mounted brake light don't work. FINALLY, I tracked down the reason, and it made my stomach sink!! The wiring bundle that enters the tailgate at its top, on the driver's side, is completely frayed, in fact, 3 of the wires are completely severed! There is absolutely NO ROOM to get in there by the big shiny hinge to try to splice anything. Meanwhile, I am too afraid to drive my Brick by night for fear of a big fat ticket! Any suggestions about how to get to this wiring and fix things up will be highly appreciated!
Thanks
