Car Forum / Volvo Cars / October 2004240 rust worth repair?
Just taken my '98 240 for m.o.t. It failed on holes in cils and floorpan. There has been a previous repair about 4 inches from the current hole. The hole is about an inch long. so, do I give up now or try and get this repaired. Do I assume that the fact there has been previous repair may indicate lots of hidden rot? Located in uk.  SignatureRegards Keith Barrett Oh what I wouldn't give for a '98 240. >Just taken my '98 240 for m.o.t. It failed on holes in cils and >floorpan. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Located in uk. Would be cool if they still made them in other markets... like how VW fans can see the Mark I and II Golfs still made brand new in South Africa. 1998 Volvo 240: 240 with the Inline 4 from the S40 adapted for rear drive (old style) unturbo and turbo versions, sedan and wagon... With all the latest safety gear, plus all that old style stuff everyone loved about the 240. S/V20, S/V20T I guess it'd be called Plus since AWD is the rage... a AWD turbo I-5 "R" version with maybe 230-250hp... 6 speed manual with the 6th gear engaged by electric button, for classicness ;-) S20R, V20R and XC20 maybe too Oh and a D5 wagon too - for haulin stuff. S/V20 D5 If you had enough money i'm sure it could all be done too. > Oh what I wouldn't give for a '98 240. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> >>Located in uk.

No one builds a nice bulletproof car that I would actually want to drive, the "S20" would be sweet. > Tease. > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >>>> >>>>Located in uk. > Just taken my '98 240 for m.o.t.

Is it worth a few quid for another year of cheap motoring??? > Just taken my '98 240 for m.o.t. It failed on holes in cils and > floorpan.

How's the rest of the car? If it looks nice and drives solid then look into getting it fixed, if you're itching for something else then perhaps it's time to move on. |
