Hi Ben,
I have an M47 in my daily driver '88 240 wagon. For some reason it's not so noisy yet. I overfilled it by .5 liters though, I hear that will keep it alive longer. Maybe if I get ambitious and can remove the front suspension and rear axle from the 142 I could pick it up and prop it to perform the work on the underside. I will need to check with Huke in a few months when the drivetrain is ready to reinstall. If I can ship both bellhousings and get the finished product back for less than $300 USD that would be superb. I will check with Scandcar to see if they sell spare tire wells and the steel trim the holds the weatherstripping that goes on the doors and hood and trunk. These pieces seem to rust away before anything else, it would be nice to not have to "manufacture" those pieces. Thanks for your help, best wishes with your restoration.I will check your progress often.

Best wishes,
Andy Knight- 240s and 140s- would like to own a nice P1800 someday.
