I found this car on craigslist one of those times I was browsing just to see what was available, not intending to buy a car. I've always wanted a 242, I think the two door looks better and for my purposes is a better layout. Anyways, I emailed the person, forgot about the car and then he emailed me back about a week later and said I could have it for 200$. It had a "running engine" but a broken fuel pump and it was missing a battery. I didn't have a trailer and I really hate uhaul so I figured that was that, besides I really didn't need to spend that 200$ + the trailer fee when I'm not working and have little money. He ended up being desperate to get rid of the car since it wasn't actually at his house and it needed to leave. We settled on 150$ and I went out to rent a car dolly from uhaul, so for 195$ total I had another car!
Part of that agreement was he could have the interior panels and the drivers side window, no problem since I wasn't going to keep any of that stuff to begin with. So here it is in all it's glory.
After washing it off it did look significantly better and now hopefully the neighbors won't get the urge to complain to the city.
Being a full time and then some college student, school and Formula SAE have gotten in the way of me doing anything to the car at all and at the moment it's just sitting in front of the house with a trash bag keeping rain out of the missing window.
This will probably be a sparsely update blog until this summer when I don't have school obligations.
