Can't keep it 200

Thanks guys, I'd love to keep it as a project car/beater/hauler but ultimately it's dad's driveway and he doesn't want another car in it. After college I swear I'll park as many 240's as I want behind my house...

Anyway, I'm currently swapping parts that are in better shape than those on my car (like nearly new Cibie headlights as opposed to aftermarkets) and doing some general clean up. I moisturized and cleaned the leather seats, all but the driver's seat bottom look fantastic and should put up with plenty more use. I'll clean all the carpets and hose the thing down, I might patch the rust line in the floor with some pop-rivet magic and generous undercoating.

After the car is clean, back together and presentable, I'll decide what to do with it.

According to the extensive receipts and repair records, nearly every problem that ever commonly occurs with a 240 has already been taken care of on this car. Wiring harness replaced, lots of bushings and seals fixed, AMM replaced twice, the second time the air box thermostat was replaced too, etc. etc. It reads like a list of everything that ever goes wrong on a 240.
