Well finally started work on the 240 last night. Waited until dark so i didn't have to work in the heat, but that brings up issues of being able to see. Yesterday I pulled the rear plastic louvre off and was hoping to install a NIB Interpart LiftLouvre, but the mounting tabs on the old louvre have foiled me so far. I managed to get one off but that is it. Tonight, I pulled the spark plugs and put a bit of ATF in each cylinder, tomorrow I'll put in a little more. Then on Wednesday I hope to get the car turned over by hand (w/o plugs installed of course). If it turns over i will be putting some more ATF in them and let it sit some more. Assuming all goes well, I'll be able to turn it over on the starter by the weekend. I think I'll be pulling the carbs off tomorrow and start cleaning them up. I have a ways to go before getting it started, but I'm shooting for the middle of next month to have it starting and idling. Once that is done I need to address other things like the brakes and tires before driving it. Here are a few quick pics i grabbed at lunch and last night.
