Abdlock's 242 Group A Project

abdlock · 08-30-2010, 12:07 AM

So here is my build thread

Many know i picked up this Blue 242 from Paul a few months ago...I set out to have one of the cleanest looking 242's in the PNW...

I have brought on Pat to help with the build,i felt his knowledge would be the best suited to take on the project

So here are some pics...I will post a few and a link to my photobucket that will be updated as the work continues..

Other photo's can be seen here....http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...79/Blue%20242/

Super Pro poly bushings throughout, Bilstein HD's, RSI prototype lowered coil-overs (from a couple years ago), IPD adjustable pan-hard bar, IPD 25/25 sways, true trac LSD and IPD SS brake lines. That's most of the good bits I think.

Hey Don, here are the pics I took with my phone. Save them and add them to your gallery.
They are full size so I will delete them in a few days.

wow, really nice. Love the Eikers and suspension work. Here's MINE to date...

Driving the car will quickly destroy the Idea of keeping it looking that way. It will only last for a short time. Or never drive it and trailer it everywhere.

It takes dedication to have a car this clean, drive it and keep it clean. I did it for years with VW's. If you know what you are doing, it's not that hard to keep clean.

And it's not like it's a daily driver.

Karl Buchka · 09-30-2010, 08:52 PM

The body work on this car is absolutely immaculate. Straightest 240 I have ever seen, bar none. With Pat putting in time on this car I have no doubt that it's going to come out perfect.

Ansel+ · 09-30-2010, 11:14 PM

Love the front end.

Delicious.
