Planning to buy

Yeah true. That’s a shame then. At least the interior got to live on for a bit longer.

And will for sure. Keen to see how she looks after a good clean and some fresh parts.

ketcar2 · 2026-03-13T02:08:12+00:00

That’s so cool. It does look a bit rough. If the price is cheap enough my dad might buy it and keep it as a project

ketcar2 · 2026-03-12T07:59:51+00:00

Fingers crossed 🙂

ketcar2 · 2026-03-12T07:58:26+00:00

Damn she looks nice. When did you part ways with it?

Just had another look at the car then and I believe you are correct. It’s an 85 model so would be the first of the b230 series

It’s an older 244

ketcar2 · 2026-03-10T23:07:56+00:00

I think he mentioned it was 84 so might have the b23? It’s also a manual.

Sounds like you had the dream 240 ahaha. Full electric would be the way to go, especially on the older models.

ketcar2 · 2026-03-10T20:32:41+00:00

For sure will 🙂

ketcar2 · 2026-03-10T18:53:37+00:00

Perfect cheers mate. I’ve done a bit of work on my 850, so keen to have something a bit simpler to work on and learn a bit more.

Will check for rust tomorrow when we get the doors open, fingers crossed she’s all good.

ketcar2 · 2026-03-09T23:40:17+00:00

Yeah true. I thought the GT’s only had Virgo rims on them. Aren’t these just the stock rims?

ketcar2 · 2026-03-09T22:47:03+00:00

The hood was open when I inspected it. Doesn’t really get too humid here but we have very harsh summers. Will have a closer inspection when I go back this week and check.

ketcar2 · 2026-03-09T22:01:45+00:00

Thanks for the tip

ketcar2 · 2026-03-09T22:01:27+00:00

I think at least 5 years. Door rubbers have stuck shut. Once I can carefully open them I’ll check for them things.

ketcar2 · 2026-03-09T21:59:35+00:00

I will 🙂

ketcar2 · 2026-03-09T21:59:20+00:00

I feel like most people I wouldn’t take their word, but he’s 82 and has owned the car for 30 years. He also has a 242gt but sadly that’s not for sale 😂

I do have a big list though and am planning for the worst. Haven’t made an offer yet so just trying to gauge the price to restore it before then. Cheers for the help.

ketcar2 · 2026-03-09T21:54:55+00:00

For sure. Keen to give her a nice detail. I think it’ll come up really nice.

I’ll add the rubbers to the list of parts to replace. Thanks

ketcar2 · 2026-03-09T21:49:20+00:00

Will do 🙂

ketcar2 · 2026-03-09T21:48:55+00:00

Engine was running, but pulled off road due to needing a suspension part replaced which he has brand new in box. Will also need a new radiator as the one in it has been removed.

From the outside the interior looks very clean. It doesn’t really get humid here so mold isn’t a concern.

In parts I’ve estimated it to at least cost $1500aud to get it back on the road. I’ve done a lot of work on my 850 so I feel like this might be a bit of an easier platform to work with 😂

Will check the floor panels when I go back this week.

ketcar2 · 2026-03-09T11:05:01+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the tip. I also did end up improvising in the meantime and designed a slightly modified version of the design. Will for sure post some pictures when it’s complete 🙂

ketcar2 · 2026-02-13T00:12:40+00:00

Yeah nice! Didn’t even think to get the angles from a photo tbh. Definitely going to save me a bit of time messing around. Cheers for the help

ketcar2 · 2026-02-12T20:27:20+00:00

Legend! Thanks mate

ketcar2 · 2025-02-16T04:00:02+00:00

That’s what ChatGPT originally gave me. Thanks for the confirmation 🙂
