Hello!
EDIT: Plans sure have changed since I bought this car. Currently sitting with a B230f in the engine bay with full 2.2 setup too, with the stock breakerless ignition. Super robust setup and dead nuts reliable.
Currently sandblasting and powdercoating all suspension components to be installed with full poly bushings and adjustable camber plates. Yoshifab helped me out with installing a T5, and I'm also boxing up all suspension arms with their box plates. 16v is next!
I'd like to introduce my 3rd 240, a 1979 245 w/m46 and a B21F. Not sure what the color is called, looks like khaki rather than the popular beige that I've seen plenty of.
Body is straight, but certainly isn't perfect. Some very common spots of rust, but body is solid regardless. I'm going to leave the body be for the time being focus on running and drivability.
Plans are:
LH2.2 swap, when it's -20f it sure is nice to have a car that starts no prob
RSI or K cam, picked an RSI cam up for a b230f, hoping I can use it on the b21f
Ipd lowering springs
Bilstein struts
RSI bronze shifter bushings
Roof rack delete
Sony Bluetooth stereo
6.25 comonent speakers in doors, tweeters in stock locations
5.5 rear door speakers
8" sub w/200watt amp
Long term plans:
Turbo setup!
More suspension bushings, etc.
Custom interior, door cards, plaid inserts, etc.
What actually happened:
1988 B230F
LH2.2 fueling
T5 transmission
IPD lowering springs
Billy HD's
IPD 25mm sways
Heated seats and upgraded seat grids
AC Delete
GT lower valance
Powdercoated black bumpers
Cat delete with custom 2.25 exhaust
What will happen:
Full poly
Spherical bearing torque bars
ADJ panhard bar
Boxed and powdercoated control and trailing arms
New downpipe, no cat, and custom 2.25 exhaust
16V conversion, still sticking with breakerless ign
Yoshifab custom intake
Yoshifab custom breather box and catch can
New rear end ratio, 4.10
Pics of the car when I picked it up
Only area of bodywork I'd like to fix, just want to pull the dent out, make it work not pretty
Wheels, spacers, and rear bilsteins on!
Mid stereo install
Ever seen an amp like this? It also had speakers in the rear doors, they said ANP on them I think
Had to try and cover up the previous butchering of the door cards. Tweeters in stock locations to keep stock grilles. The more stock the better, nice and clean!
Parts swap!
Stereo done!
That's it for now, today is the 4th day working on the car, hoping to wrap up the black one to sell, then my ipd box comes in!
