I can't blame you if you can't fix the rust through. I can but I have 5 projects in front of it. Don't discount a 240D. If they are set up right they'll run pretty good. This one is capable of sustaining 80 mph all day long with the air blowing. Temp stays at 82 Centigrade. They were(are) used as taxi's in Europe. Very durable setup. manual windows, transmission, and climate contols. the old computer in the car is the cruise control which needs to be resoldered. It engages but won't hold speed. typical of the breed. Ernie
