my poor rusty friend 140-160

My car had saggy rear springs when I got it (and dead shocks).
I found a volvo 242 in a yard that had crazy variable rate springs
in the rear and put those in the 164 and they fixed up the saggy
butt just fine. I'd advise that you just get rear springs from
any 240 that you find in a yard -- just take the top hat shaped
thingies that hold the top of the 240 springs in place. The 245
springs are stiffer than the 242/244 springs.
