not bad man! very nice! i like that color blue. I might have to pick some up. Unless I just stick with green? idk lol. anyways, I do have an aftermarket exhaust manifold that I dont need. It came with my 240, and it kinds rusty, but im sure a lil sand paper/wire wheel and some black paint will fix that. I'm not sure what kind it is, but its a 4-2-1 mani.

lol, you might as well get rid of the egr anyways, it does nothing. And there are a few different ways to get rid of it. One is put a nickel and some gasket maker in between the long tube, and the egr valve, or another is make a block off plate, and remove the egr valve and tube all together. The exhaust mani i have, I welded the egr port closed anyway.

Those rotors certainly look like they have some life left in them from a glance, and I see no obvious signs of sludge on the top end. I'd say you have yourself a worthy project car, no obvious signs of needed work really

Baer makes some pretty good breaks, and they are cheaper than Brembo.

Yeah Baer is good, but I have to say, I've never heard anything bad about Brembo. When it comes to safety, you don't wanna skimp.

Looks like you need to buy at least one tire, but those are some pretty sweet looking rims. You should toss them on and take some photos. And how soon until you're planning on hooking up that tranny?

Nice, my friend has 962's on his 240, and they are staggered as well. They look real nice on a lowered 240. But for that exhaust mani, I've decided to break in my engine N/A for proper break-in reasons, but once I'm done with break in, I'll sell it.
