Hello again.
I'm still a bit new to this and I will have people helping me, but I'd like any suggestions on this that people feel like offering. Someday soon I hope to have learned enough to help answer questions as well...but here goes:
Have: 83 240 DL, 'organ donor'; 83 240Turbo without turbo, with bad catalytic converter, bad front struts, and ill-fitting wheels. (both cars have automatics)
Plans: Put on new turbo (have one here, I know I need gaskets, some kinda one-use bolts, and someone who knows plumbing to help), put in cheap aftermarket cat., swap wheels from DL to turbo, get struts replaced, drive new turbo.
Sounds simple, right? Well...I know that there's probably some things I should do while chunks of the car are somewhere other than with the car (like silly things that inexperienced people don't think of....like the flame trap that nearly killed the 240 months ago)
Anyway, if anyone's done a project like this before, I'd appreciate any advice given (other than 'you're crazy, give up.')
Thanks
