A little update for now.
I finally plugged all the holes in the engine bay and also seam welded the lot, where i could too, so it should be a lot sturdier when time comes.
Now both sides of the front engine bay and under the wheel arches are probably done.
I had to cut out a big chunk of rust where the chasis rail comes from under the car and meets the front part of the rail that goes to the front of the car. If you are rebuilding your 240, look at it. Both sides under the wheel arch/wing, near the foot rests, where the metal pieces are sandwiched in and spot welded together, where two pieces of chasis rail meets, the water gets into the gap between the sheet metal and gets stuck there as there's quite a few gaps inbetween panels, and it rusts badly. Mine were bubbling up and were really badly rusted out. Even the 2mm rail section was all rusted away, so i have cut it out and replaced with new metal pieces. All primed and so on...
I got so much video footage of it all, just not got the time to edit it all.
Soon it will all happen
Think i am actually done with the fron of the car.
The one thing that's left to do is make a tubular front slam panel where all the lights and rad/cooler etc will mount, but that's gonna happen when the engine etc is in and when i will have a chance to measure it all.
Time will show!
Cheers, Adam
