I ask myself this very question all the time. After owning one 245 wagon (wife's car) I got bit by the bug. Sold my Mustang Pace Car and bought a $900 84 245 beater. So far I've replaced both front fenders, the hood, the rear hatch 3 of 4 doors, 1981 grill & headlamp setup and the front and rear seats. Got it painted yellow and had the wheels powdercoated white. I've also done some work to the motor, though nothing major. This may sound sane to someone restoring a low milage classic or muscle car, but this was a 200,000 + mile rusted out wagon. Check me into the mental hospital soon. It's a bad case of Volvoitis. I just love this car and don't know why. My son has called dibs on my wife's old 81 245. It may become his car in about 13 years. Keep it rolling. About the only way I'd get rid of it is for maybe an old 242GT....hhmmm future project?
