First 240..Not worth it. SR or not..Theyre cheap enough to pick up and easy enough to install..That rust is not cheap/nor easy to get rid of. It only spreads, and it probably has no frame rails.
2nd 240, over priced. Automatic, body lines dont even match up. Don't go paying 3k for that.
I jumped into my first 240 purchase..Went in the middle of a snow storm to pick up this car, that the owner wouldnt even let me test drive, was late at night and dark, couldnt see any cosmetic damage on the car. Bring it home, look at it in the morning, no frame rails, hatch spare tire well is rusted out, the KA is beat, complete peice of sh...1k gone, ended up spinning a bearing on the KA and sold the rusted shell for $300.
Waited [Researched alot on furoms to learn in the mean time] a bit to get my 2nd 240 purchase, 1.2k. Clean, little bit of body dings. No rust on rails or hatch. Still a shitty ticking KA time bomb though, and a cracked windshield. That KA spun a bearing, picked up an SR for $1,750 at an importer, dropped it in for nothing cause its easy labor. Maybe $500-800 in misc parts like Intercooler/radiator/bov/bullshit. $3,400-$4000 for a car that I've had running daily driver for a year and a half with minimal issues and general maintenance. In hell of alot better condition than that first 240 you posted up for $3,300.
Personally don't rush it..Especially with these cars, they're like a hit or miss anymore. Unless you have the funds to dump into it and have a daily driver and can afford the down time.
