I appreciate the advice guys.
Buying a shell/chassis could be somewhat the 'safer' option. I know you guys are looking out for me financially, but if I was to spend 10-15k on a working 240, there is still no guarentee that it's not going to be a rust bucket.
I can weld aswell as doing most rust repairs. So if I can find a shell and see what I will really be getting myself into that is a hell of a lot safer then buying something with a shiny paint job and then discovering it needs an overhaul structurally.
Before I make a decision of price I first need to find a 240 guys haha!
So let's not flame over what I should be looking for when I am yet to find anything..if that makes sense?
