My Little Brother got kind of screwed over with a used car

Post by Raule Duke »

I know this doesn't really have anything to do with Delicas but thought maybe if anyone know any Mercedes people out there that they could pass this on

My little brother bought this car with hopes to "restore" it and after spending a bunch of cash realized how bad the rust was

His best bet is to purchase another 240 and swap the parts over.....

If he spent 4k in parts, remove that 4k and move it to a donor with a rust-free frame and then scrap this one. That appears to be the sensible solution if he has the space and time.
