I've spent the last two weeks derusting the body of my 242. I removed all of the surface rust and covered it with two coats of heavy-duty primer. I welded 16 gauge sheet metal patches into any holes. I'm now in the process of painting the car. It's looking good!

Mechanically I bought it in pretty good shape. Wiring harness is original, but the non-turbo engine doesn't seem to make enough heat to have fried the harness just yet. I plan on replacing the harness this summer, though a careful visual inspection reveals no harness problems.

A big box from rockauto should be arriving tomorrow with brake parts and a transmission mount. I can do the brakes without issue, but I've never changed a transmission mount before.

Some assistance from a Volvo veteran would be appreciated.
