John, how hard is it to replace rocker panels on 240s?
A car like this red one here would be at least 1200 here in Midwest.
Good morning...ugh long day yesterday. Up at 0600 for an MRI, then drive thru downtown traffic to drop wifey of, then drop 30 new strut tubes off in Mukeltio for the pretty plating, they pop into Pull-a-part to look for cam belt tensioner ideas---and check inventory like the Camaro T5 (V6)---then to Jake the CNC mill guy to pick up the Soooper Bitchin 15 lb STEEL flywheels, then home foe a while , pick up wifey (late!) back home grab a bite and then zoom down to IKEA cause we had to get something better to sleep on, so schlep up a new mattress at 21.30...then turn on email all while nearly, almost cross-eyed from this bulging disc...
Greg, you hit the nail. Replcing the whole length of the sill is the key..
sheet metal is cheap, so don't fiddle faddle making patches, cut out whole parts. stitch in new.
I've not done a 240 but I've done 2 sills , 2 floor sections, a traverse seat support cut and welding, and primed in 16 hours, sipping tea.
By the way, with a leaky trans, and a STACK of 20s, that car can be had for less.
Were it not so shiny, 100 dollah!
